Stacks.

Hey, you.

Contrary to how it might feel, not everyone has an amazing job or a fantastic partner or a cute kid or a cool car or an amazing group of friends. Some people might have all these things, sure. Some people might have a few of them. Some people might have one or none.

But whatever they have or don’t have, it doesn’t mean that a) it’s exactly what it looks like; b) that they lack pain or challenge outside of that good thing; c) that you’d actually love it if you had it (or that they do); d) that it’s the best thing for you because it works for them; or e) that you might not have it yourself tomorrow.

Comparing what you’ve accomplished to a magical timeline in your head or what other people possess is a recipe for forgetting what you HAVE accomplished, and for even yuckier pastures like, say, envy.

And nobody needs envy on their list of accomplishments. In part because it’s too easy, and therefore not list-worthy, and in part because you’d probably have to list the other deadly sins, then, too, and I’d rather that “sloth” remained a cute little creature with a fun nose.
