I'm sure I'm not the only one who at one point thought the grass is greener on the other side. Social media totally messed with my head. I would open my facebook and see beautiful photos of vacations, perfect dinners and perfect lives. I was starting to believe my life really sucked. As I was scrambling to pay bills , make grilled cheese for supper and look half way decent for work my friends were living the perfect life. After careful review and soul searching I now know MY GRASS IS GREEN.
I came to realize everyone has burdens and I'm not the only one who struggles. I have days when I have wish my life was different. I wish I had nicer clothes ( thanks pinterest) a better job ( which by the way didn't turn out as expected) and a nicer house but...that's life
I no longer go on FB. I choose to talk, text or visit with my friends. For me it makes the relationship more solid. I need to hear a voice and a laugh. LOL doesn't cut it anymore. It's been a year since I last checked my FB and I don't miss it at all.
I have great friends and family...check
soul searching was rewarding...check
no one will ever be perfect...check
I watered my grass and it grew...check
