From September 30th

I hate being compared to other people. I hate comparing myself to other people. I hate that a part of me still can't shake the idea that money and wealth are equivalent to happiness. I hate that success is measured in salaries, clothes, and cars. I hate that if I'm not the best, I feel like the worst. I hate society's standards for me. I hate my standards for myself.

I'm determined to change. I'm programmed to think that if I work hard now, I'll get in to a prestigious college so I can get a high paying job so I can make lots of money so I can buy lots of expensive things that supposedly will make me feel happy and successful.

(I was the biggest hypocrite alive today.)
