I just had a recollection of a friend in undergrad telling me she met a girl from my school that was a couple of years younger than me. She said that this girl considered me to be her idol (or something along those lines) and really looked up to me. I was lost for words. My whole life I have looked at those around me and older than me and I wonder if I'll ever be as confident, beautiful and successful as them. To think that someone thought the same of me was mind blowing. I do admit my self-esteem is far from high so I've never even entertained the possibility that someone might think of me in such a way.
Firstly, it goes to show looks are deceiving, as my life is far from perfect but to some, it must seem otherwise superficially. Therefore, by the same token the lives of those who I've aspired to emulate are unlikely to be picture perfect in reality. Secondly, either I must be content with what I have and where I am, or to take initiative to achieve something better. I should not look at others with envy but instead let them spur me into action.
I'm not sure if I'm making sense anymore.
Love Lisa.
