You think you're falling behind because you didn't get the job you want. You feel INSECURE because your friends are leveling up. You blame yourself because you chose the wrong course in college. You wish your parents were wealthy so they could provide you a better life. You ask what's wrong with you for having failed relationships. You self-pity for not getting the things you deserve.
Remember, don't be too hard on yourself.
Sometimes, we compare ourselves to others so much that we overlook our own achievements.
No matter how small or big they are, focus on them and be PROUD.
Don't be embarrassed about your FAILURES. Instead, embrace and learn from them. You own the future.

"I know you – yes you, are going to get through all of these, and you’re only going to get stronger. I know that in a year’s time, when you read this again, you will be in a better place, and end up a better person. I know it may be slow, it may be painful, it may seem impossible, but you will learn to pick up the pieces and fix your life again.
I know you may feel like a useless, underachieving kid now, but when you read this again you will be living life as a strong, fruitful and awesome person. I know things will get better. I know God is there. I know you will pick yourself up because that is who you are. You are a soldier, you are a warrior, and you are undefeatable. You may be shot, you may be struggling, you may be wounded, but you will keep going. Because I know you are stronger than you think, and you are capable of achieving more than you could ever imagine. I know eventually you will come to realize that everything that you have been through is for a purpose, and that nothing in life – be it good or bad, bitter or sweet, pain or joy, is ever wasted. I know you will find your purpose in life and realise that you are a uniquely significant being of this world. Because there can’t be another you.
I know that no matter how lonely you may feel, there are people out there who love you for who you are."
