You put it so well and I love that quote "The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else's highlights reel".

For some reason I don't find myself as influenced by bloggers seemingly perfect lives - because I know on my blog, I always put my best foot forward. I have problems letting people in when things are less-than-perfect so I find that I just never blog about it (I'm just really self conscious). So I just think to myself "I know that's what all those "perfect" bloggers do too." I love when people are brave enough to blog about when their lives aren't going 100% perfect, I wish I were brave enough! Facebook though? Completely different ball game! I KNOW those people and I feel worse when I KNOW the person who's living out their dreams while I'm just working a 9-5. Sigh. Haha<br /><br />EvaniSimply Evanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441236138861964584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545670271830222242.post-26475415864400954462012-08-20T13:20:06.559-05:002012-08-20T13:20:06.559-05:00Completely agree.

And in case you want another quote, "Jealousy is all the fun you think they had." I wrote a blog about that months back because it's easy to forget. Nobody uploads a picture of themselves at their worst (unless they're me posting after-race photos), or pictures of them changing a flat tire in a dress on the highway, etc. Your life is pretty fab though ;) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545670271830222242.post-49363852497639755252012-08-20T12:09:13.576-05:002012-08-20T12:09:13.576-05:00It's tough not to get all caught up in the com...It's tough not to get all caught up in the comparison game. I know I definitely fall victim to it every now and then, especially when I'm looking for excuses to be unhappy. I've gotten a lot better at just walking away from it all when I find myself in one of those moods.

I make no apologies for having bad days and i like it when others are real also. i agree, it's ahrd no to compare though on those hard days.
