Today, someone said something to me that landed like a quiet thunderstorm—
soft, sudden, but unmistakably stirring.

“You know why you’re feeling lonely?
It’s because you’re comparing yourself to others.”

Oof.

I didn’t brush it off. I didn’t fight it.
I sat with it.

Because isn’t that so often the case?
It’s not just loneliness we feel—
it’s the ache beneath it.
The why-can’t-I-feel-full-here of it.

We scroll.
We watch stories unfold in filtered squares.
We see joy curated, connections polished, love displayed like a painting in a gallery.

And somewhere in our nervous system, the signal scrambles.
It whispers, “You’re behind.”
“You’re not enough.”
“Everyone else has found something you’re still looking for.”

But here’s the slow truth—one I come back to over and over again:

You are never not enough.

You’ve just forgotten.

You’ve forgotten because the noise outside got louder than the voice within.
Because you started looking for proof of your worth in comparison,
instead of remembering the pulse of presence that’s always been inside you—
steady, loving, patient.

So here’s what I’m reminding myself of today.
Maybe it’s what you needed to hear too:

✨ You don’t have to do more to be worthy.
✨ You don’t have to shine every day to be loveable.
✨ You don’t have to “keep up” to be enough.

You already are.

Let’s put down the measuring stick.
Let’s meet ourselves here—just as we are.
In softness.
In breath.
In the quiet courage of choosing presence over performance.

And if you feel this ache too, if you’re craving a space to be held while you remember who you are beneath the comparison…
