Love this advice from Erin Foster on Hello Giggles... She is talking about weddings when you're single, but it works no matter how you're comparing yourselves to others:
"Someone else’s story always dictates how you feel about your own... We compare ourselves so much to everyone else and basically live in fear that we’re either missing out on something better or being left behind.... We’re either using someone else’s life to pick it apart and make ours seem better, or propping it up on a pedestal to make us feel inadequate...
"Get your eyes off their plate. No one gets to decide if your life is good or if you are where you were supposed to be at this age. As long as you’re still curious about things and willing to evolve a little, make an adjustment on yourself here and there, you’ll be fine. So, they’re getting married. Or having a baby. Or crazy in love. Well, then it’s their turn to have that, and it’s not taking away anything from you or speeding up any imaginary timeline you’ve decided for yourself. You put it there without reason and you can take it away too. No one else’s story has anything to do with your own."
