Food for thought for a new year:
“You learned better and you got on with things. You learned that you were what you were, and tried to be the best version of that person, because you were never going to be anybody else. And you stopped envying other people because everyone had problems you didn’t know about.”
–Sister Clara in Paladin’s Strength by T. Kingfisher
I can’t think when I’ve last felt envious of another person. I’m sure it has happened, and relatively recently, too; I just can’t remember it. Which means—I hope, at least!—it can’t have been a very strong emotion or moment, which is a good thing.
In any case, more of the best version of myself for the coming year would also be great, not just for me but for the people around.

I envy you for not envying other people. LOL

LOL! The closest is probably towards those who seem to be able to keep extra pounds off their weight with little effort… 🙂 I know a few whose genes are obviously very different from mine.

I’ve been struggling with weight my entire life. At my adult height, I’ve weighed anywhere from 150 to 290 pounds.

Nicely put. There’s a good balance to be struck between being happy being yourself and also trying to be a better self. We’ll see how well I can do that this year!
