just watch from afar

If all we do is watch other people's lives and envy them, then we can't expect good things to just suddenly come to us. And what they show on social media (or even how much they brag to you face-to-face) does not make it the truth, as nobody wants to show their bad days / ugly side and most of them exaggerate. Forget what others are doing, focus on yourself, and work towards the good things that you want to have in your life, don't wait for luck.

My family teaches me to be happy with what I have. And that I am, touchwood. And yet, sometimes I can't help feel little sad or envious about the things that I don't have and I can't stopping hoping that someday I will have them.
