I'm genuinely glad that the people in my life are happy, but it is hard not to compare myself. I'm divorced, never had kids, and living with bipolar. I see what could have been my life when I look at my sister and my friend, and their perfect families. I feel so alone. Now at home listening to Arcade Fire and feeling sad.

Everyone thinks other peoples families are so perfect ... Mine has a very happy all rainbows and unicorns appearance from the outside. Don't go into sugar shock watching how sweet we are... Not reality. We all put on a facade in life. Bipolar people specially. I'm unconvinced that happiness really exists anywhere. Don't compare yourself. It's all lies. Kinda like Facebook...
