Comparing oneself to others is exhausting. We see what we don’t have presented in front of our eyes. The stress this produces is…
The roles we live are but a notion. We are so much more.
We never stop being a son or a daughter, brother or father, mother or sister. We live them, and they are not mutually exclusive. We take from each, and they inform each other helping form the whole.
