Can't live up to expectations
Growing up, I've always been looked on as the "smart" kid. People were always telling me about my potential, the things I could do. And I've always believed in it - I was motivated and ambitious and I wanted it all. Yet I've always come short. I've worked hard, I've put in the hours, and I've tried extremely hard. Yet nothing seems like enough.
I started off college behind, and I haven't been able to recover. It feels like I've been chasing a train that's already left the station - and I hate myself for it.
I can't stop comparing myself to my peers - people who used to look up to me, but who have now surpassed me. And I can't shake the feeling that they don't respect me anymore.
I just hope I'm not the only one that feels this way.
The only expectations you should try and live up to are your own. If you're always comparing, you're always miserable.
