Been struggling lately (well, always, but especially lately) with the concept of people – friends, even – copying me or following in my footsteps or whatever you’d like to call it – I feel like a normal person should feel honored or flattered but lately I’ve just been a bit irritated at the thought. Think it ultimately comes from insecurities about being a second choice/not good enough and comparing myself to others, which is frustrating and something I’ve been trying very hard to work on

This is a pep talk for myself: Let them. You keep doing you. No one does you better than you.
