other people are not nearly as together as you seem to think they are. they all get by just as you do. they are in the middle of their own maelstrom of confusion, desire, need and limitations just like you are. it's just that their issues are not the same as your issues and visa-versa. don't go beating yourself up just because their issues don't cut you as deeply as yours do.

It's such an easy, selfish fantasy to get into. We (and I mean I) find it easy to look at people who seem to have what we want, and imagine that their lives and rich and fulfilling and perfect. It's not perfection though, just our idea of it. Which may not be their idea at all. Just seeing someone at a party, reading their journal, that doesn't really let you know everything that is going on. Some people hide their pain and confusion. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

This is a very vital thing to remember. Thank you very, very much for saying this.
