It’s so easy to compare yourself to others, especially on social media. Or is it?
Comparisons.
It’s through comparison that we feel lack. The emptiness within us we feel everyone else has except us. the rising feelings of self doubt and overthinking.
The blinding fear of loss and losing.
Your throat closes up and nothing is good enough.
The fear monster of lack grips your heart and won’t let go.
She recoils to protect herself and pushes your lungs into a smaller space. It’s harder to breathe.
The haunting, empty feeling of lack.
Your heart squeezes and your mind taunts you, a bully reducing you to nothing.
Distraction mounts and your head’s chicken running around pointlessly.
Your mind screams at you, “you’re not good enough.”
The gall in your throat rises as you struggle to speak.
Your hands sweat and your immobile.
The knowing eyes of fear stare at you and will not look away.
You cannot close your eyes.
The overwhelming feelings of lack and loss flood your body.
