You spent an hour memorizing someone else’s vacation and zero seconds noticing your own sunset.

Comparison is not a character flaw. It is what happens when you are handed a continuous supply of other people’s best moments and none of your own, and an hour of that leaves you well informed about a week you were not on and unaware of the sky outside your window. The attention got spent either way. It just went somewhere it could not be returned from.

Try catching the trade as it happens rather than afterward. When you find yourself deep in someone else’s day, get up and look at where you actually are. Even a minute of that changes the hour.
