“So return to yourself
Even if you are already there
Because no matter where you go or how hard you try
or what you do
the only person that you’ll gonna
get to be
(and I know it)
is you.”
-Buddy Wakefield
I love this snippet from one of his poems. It is a reminder that the only person you get to be is you and you shouldn’t try to compare yourself to other people because they are walking a different path than you. Only you have experienced your journey.
Never be too hard on yourself.
