Why are we constantly beating up on ourselves? It could be physically: we aren't skinny or muscular enough, aren't handsome or pretty enough, aren't what we want us to be. So we run more, we stop eating, we change ourselves. It could also be emotionally: we aren't smart enough, we aren't funny enough, we aren't what we want us to be. And so we joke more, we study more, we change ourselves. We are who we are supposed to be. We shouldn't compare ourselves to others because it's not possible to become them. We just need to be our best selves that we can be and leave the aren't out of it.
