“I deleted my childhood friend’s number today because I didn’t want to see her WhatsApp status anymore. She seems to be doing well for herself, a stable business, a healthy relationship, basically everything. Meanwhile, I’m on the other end, struggling with almost everything in my life. I know I shouldn’t compare, but deep down it keeps coming up.”
