Episode Transcript:

Again, I'm just gonna babble upfront here a little bit because waiting for my software to catch up and it always cuts out the beginning. So if you're hearing this, I'm just babbling to get started. I think around 10 seconds I'm good. So back with the life next level YouTube video today, I want to talk a little bit about other people's highlights and this has happened to me. And in fact, again, I'm going to go through, I'm gonna go through some of my past stuff that I went through and relate to. Some stuff that you have went through have gone through and probably will or maybe are because we're all going through struggles at that point sometimes. But I remember when I went through a really bad breakup and I would go on facebook and I know I knew not to, my friends told me not to, but what uh what kept happening is I'm seeing all these other people in great relationships and posing together and having families and getting married and getting engaged and everything's all roses and butterflies and cotton candy. And it was very depressed. And it's very hard. I just I love to be happy for other people. But it was very hard in that moment to be happy for other people when I was just so freaking miserable. And um it took a lot out of me. What I realized in reading a lot of stuff and everything is that people only put their highlights on social media. People only tell you about their highlights unless you're a deep and close friend and so don't so evo if and when you're having a bad day or going through a bad time, don't go look on social media because it will not help. And also, I don't believe that everyone is having a perfect life in the opposite situation of you because they're not everyone, everyone is going through their own internal struggles. As you walk down the street, everyone you pass is going through their own struggle with something, whether it be their relationships, their job, they're scared of something, they're sad about something everyone, so don't be fooled about that. So, I just want to let you know when you're having a bad day or bad week or bad month like that. It's ok. Everyone goes through that you're not alone and I know that everyone likes to go out alone, but you're not alone. So just remember that and I just want to leave you with a quote and actually should have memorized this, but it's it's hard to remember exactly what he said. His name is jesus and I don't even know if I pronounce that uh zh n but he said um this was a long time ago, he said, people will only show you what they want you to see, remember everyone has a chapter in their lives that they don't read out loud, so don't be fooled by the perfect front that people put up, you'd be foolish to believe all that. So, always remember that when you're going through a tough time, everyone else is too, you're not alone. So, um, and it's okay. It's okay. It's okay to be sad for us. Okay. Okay. To have a bad day. It's okay to go to sleep at six PM and just live for tomorrow for a day when you're having one of those bad days. It's all okay. All right. I'll talk to you next time on the Life. Next Level channel. See you.
