98 days agoLife is so crazy.
Sometimes, when you feel like you’re barely holding it together —
Someone out there is looking at you…
And wishing they were in your shoes.
They want what you have.
What you wear.
Where you go.
The life you live.
They think you’re better than them —
Even when you’re struggling to breathe.
And that’s wild, isn’t it?
Because they don’t see the breakdowns.
They don’t see the nights you cry yourself to sleep.
They don’t see the bank alerts,
The pressure,
The quiet pain you hide behind your smile.
They just see what they think is a better life.
They think:
“If I was them, my life would be perfect.”
But they don’t know that you’re just surviving too.
Isn’t it crazy?
How someone can want your life —
While you’re still trying to escape it?
