Yet sometimes I feel like I have to catch up, which is dumb. I've always been a slow writer anyways, but in this case I am going along at what (for me) is a good clip.

It's hard not to compare ourselves to others, isn't it?





For instance, my husband and I are not poor, but we are the poorest in our families. Some people judge us for that, like we didn't work as hard or save as much. Comparisons are odious.

I wish we could stop comparing. Nobody has the right to judge someone else.

Don't blame yourself for how you function. You are you and the others are them. Write in your tact and let the others work in theirs.


I have to say I have no sympathy for people who judge others by where they are on the income ladder. Some people feel better than others when they have a lot of money, as if their income is their highest value.

It is a good thing that young people have started to turn their values around, try to use less ...
