Nothing compares 2 U

You know when you were a kid how your mom used to compare you with your cousins or the neighbour’s kids of the same age group? I used to hate that and I swore to myself that I’ll never do the same thing to my kids in the future.

It’s sad to think that even now that I’m all grown up; I still have to face this kind of situation.

Your boyfriend measuring you up to his ex-girlfriend.

Your superior comparing you with your colleagues.

And worst, until today, sometimes your parents are still putting you side by side against your siblings or their friend’s children, especially when it comes to getting hitched and in terms of career.

How healthy is that?

The only difference is that now you have the right to speak up.

To the boyfriend: Since she’s such a gem, you should be married to her with 3 kids and would have lived happily ever after by now. So what the hell are you doing here with me?

To the boss: If somebody can do the job better and more efficient than I can, why the hell are you wasting your b***dy precious time telling me such things when you can just ask your Ms Super-Efficient & Effective to do it since she can get it done in 20 minutes?

How difficult is it to understand that each person is unique and has his/her own positive and negative traits, which make him, well, him? If everyone is identical then the world would be really boring, wouldn’t it? As if this is rocket science.

We should be celebrating our individuality and not wasting our time listening to people who tell us how we should or should not live our lives.

“I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was “You’ll never find anyone like me again”. I’m thinking, “I should hope not! If I don’t want you, why would I want someone like you?” – Author Unknown
