Stop.

Comparing yourself to others  

stop.  

They are no more beautiful  

nor smart

invincible

than you.  

So stop.  

Here's why:  

When your heart longs for that which another may own (but really, what do we own in this great wild world? So very little, in the end) 

when you long like that

what you're really longing for

is already inside of you

is you

courage

artistry

such beauty, too

and, if you want it - though there is danger here -  

the ability to make them  

look  

listen

stop.  

Thanks for reading.
