We often get this feeling that others run these amazing perfect lives... We often look at them and wonder why can't we lead these smooth, happy and interesting lives?
And we grumble with frustration about why we are not like them... we consider ourselves unfortunate, unlucky and sometimes even cursed because we see our lives as nothing BUT a step from one mud puddle to an even bigger mud puddle!
Even more, we sometimes feel others look at us with this "eye!" And most probably we feel annoyed and you wanna SCREAM at them: if only you know it's not as perfect as it looks...
AND THAT'S THE GLITCH; right there!!
Those people we look at with amusement and sometimes envy... they too wanna scream at us: if only you know it's not as perfect as it looks...
Those people we look up to and claim they have perfect lives.... simply DON'T! Everyone lives in their own roller coaster of events, issues, problems, stress, crap, failures & frustrations... We only think their lives are running smooth... But we all have our bumps... some days are good and happy others are bad, difficult and gloomy!
The perfect lives of others is really an illusion that we immerse ourselves with... little do you know these others might even have more problems than us... they might be considering us lucky!
Let's take it easy... I'm no expert... I'm talking to myself more than talking to anyone... I keep telling myself everyone has problems, there is no such thing as perfect lives, there is no life that runs completely smooth... I keep telling myself these bumps are what give our lives meaning!
So instead of looking at the lives of others with that "eye" I should rather learn to accept mine, smile about it, focus on the bright side and find ways in working around my bad days and my problems.
- sigh!

We all have our ups and downs, however, we are all good at playing pretend... we all like to keep the bad side undercover and we like to show up with big smiles... we like to talk about the things that make us happy... we like to brag about success... we don't want to look bad, we don't want to seem weak, we don't want to get exposed... OR perhaps we just wanna forget about whatever problems we have for just a little while!
And that is REALLY okay! We are entitled to escaping from whatever it is that makes us unhappy!
What matters is that we grasp the fact that whatever we're going through is happening with everyone! We have to realize that these lucky people... are just people with their own good days and bad days!
