Don't photoshop your life for anything...

Maybe the one you’re photoshopping your life for or that one you’re in the habit of comparing yourself to, are also dying to be like you. Perhaps that one you laugh at, thinking you’re better than, is just not interested in snatched stardom but has more than necessary to have you drool with desire.  

Maybe those that you’re forcing friendship with thinking they’re the big league and probably have it all, have more needs than you. What if I tell you that every individual has a unique endowment and that it will be easier to square a circle than be like someone with an entirely different genetic gift?

Wouldn't it be more respectable and liberating to appreciate yourself or try to do better than your current self, than trying to be better than someone you barely know? What if I tell you that one day you’ll be sorry for having nothing to be proud of simply because you spent your useful life fantasising and yearning without cause?

Now call me ‘enyan’ if you like, but really, if the definition of the word rich isn't changed yet, then here, a lot of people we call “rich” are just ‘chapteh,’and a lot of folks you meet on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, on the beach or in the club thinking they’re living large ‘amunj tuss, denj mun deka bi rek.’ I could name some of them if I want to, but I am a ‘sutura’ sort of guy.
