I often fall into this trap. This trap of seeing things that other people have and thinking I should have those things too. The trap of inadequacy as opportunities seem to bypass me. I sink into this pitfall of perceptions that scream to me how I should look, behave, what I should have, and how I should BE. All of it being mostly lies and at best misconceptions. I had to learn to accept acceptance, That I am who I am meant to be. Outside influence no longer clouds my thought, and I begin to enjoy life as I step out of a place between being too critical of the past, and too engrossed in the future. The fact that I am here is evidence enough that there is a place and a purpose to my destiny. I am here because this is where I belong.
