One of my work mates was talking today about her and her partners material success.
I really like her and she wasn't flexing.
I'm embarrassed to admit it, but i felt so far behind.
Life goes on.
I feel bloody weird about getting rid of a mortgage in less than a year, but there is that somebody dying part, and I am almost 50. Not exactly a flying start.
Comparison is the thief of joy. We all have different benchmarks! You are fucking awesome, just how you are.
That's incredibly kind of you :)
In terms of kindness, humility and making the world a better place you are a big success. ๐๐๐ฅฐ
and your determination and hard work are much to be admired
