Hello fosterthehuman,

Why do you cause so much pain to yourself? Why do you let all of your thoughts cause so much pain? You can control your thoughts and your emotions, you just need to practice, this world isn't about being better than anyone. That's limited. All of us have strengths and abilities, all of us are equal, think about it this way, after 100 years when you pass away and your body is dirt, what's the difference between you and other people of your same age? (the dead ones haha) None. There is no difference, we are all the same specie, but what differentiates us from one another is what we choose to do. You can do anything if you have the determination and the curiosity, the only person who you should compete is with yourself. YOU are your greatest competitor. How were you 5 years ago? The same? No. You gathered experience and knowledge, so you're better. You grow and advance at your own pace. The only thing that you should care about is yourself, others are there just to be a part of your game. Get in touch with your inner self, search for answers if you have questions, if not, just try to be happy and fill yourself with as much positive things and experiences as you can, the only one who can hurt you is YOU, so think about it, you have a limited time on this planet, do you really want to spend that time hurting and feeling bad and trying to be better than others?
