Their grass looks greener because they cropped out the weeds and bumped the saturation.
REFLECTION
REFLECTION
You are comparing your unedited life with someone else’s selected one, and the comparison was never fair enough to mean anything. Nobody posts the flat Tuesday, the argument in the car, the bill that came. What you see is a highlight chosen on purpose, and your mind treats it as a representative sample of their whole existence.
When envy shows up, try to picture the twenty-three hours that did not make the frame. Not to diminish what they have, which may be entirely real, but to restore the missing context. Then look at your own week with the same generosity you have been giving theirs.
Whose feed makes your own life feel thinner than it is?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
