in a nutshell

I'd say this is me in a nutshell. But let me clarify, I'm not one to let anything steal my joy. If I've got it, it's there! But comparisons? They're my downfall. I admit. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever really, truly be content. Or maybe I'm just ravenous. Always wanting more. Better. Different. I seem to always look toward what's next. Let me not let what's to come - what to compare this to - steal away from what I've got. What I'm working toward. There's beauty in this too. A lot of it. There are really, really FUN and EXCITING days that fill me up. That excite me! That bring me joy. But all of this - these trials, my emotions,  the hurt and the confusion and all the fun times with my friends - they're a part of the journey! I'm trying not to let slip by without doing my best at this moment.

If only, we'd all stop comparing. I'm going to work on keeping my joy!!
