Don't go onto Facebook and look at how other people show themselves and their lives. These people put up the positive things they have and that doesnt mean they don't have problems they deal with too.

None of us can change the way we grew up or how our family life was. But that doesn't mean you have to feel "bad about yourself" for the rest of your life because there were things you didn't get.

We all seem to "believe" that there is this one way we are all supposed to experience family and childhood that we need to have in order to have value. And the people who post on facebook only post whatever they might have that can show they meet this "believed standard for personal value and happiness".

Well, just because someone might not have that "ideal picture" doesnt mean they can't have a meaningful life. Infact, often people who may seem to have that "ideal picture" often don't really have it and are not always "fulfilled".

It is more impotant that you learn what "you like" and allow yourself to "explore life" giving yourself permission to grow and learn and discover. Honestly, that is what everyone learns to do anyway, we all face challenges and we all learn all of our lives.
You can give yourself permission to be a happier person anytime, take a walk, give to yourself and find things you "like" to do, even if they are simple. Being "happy" doesn't have to mean that you need to be a part of a certain "ideal" set by others.
You can develope your own ideals and allow yourself to "be happy" if you really want to. Often our biggest obstacle in life, is "ourselves" which doesn't have to be.
