[quote=@Legend] *Furrows my eyebrows in visible frustration* If anything you’ve told me is true, then you [i]have[/i] to see that where we are is so much different than them, or you, or mom. [/quote] Yes, different. Not lesser. Not weaker, or slower, or dumber. Just different. There's no "winning" in terms of a life, Stella. There's no "losing" either. There's just "living" and improvement. To quote a once wise man, "strive to be better, always better... but never perfect." All I'm saying is that you shouldn't hold yourself to the standards you set on other people, that's a recipe for frustration and heartache. I'm sorry that I'm not giving the most poignant or instantly useful advice, but all I can give is my opinion and what I know.
