Is it normal that seeing successful celebrities my age or younger makes me sad?
I'm a young woman, and seeing young, beautiful teen pop stars and actresses my age or younger makes me feel horrible about myself. Like, that's where they are already in their lives, while I'm struggling through college with no real direction in my life. We're the same age, and they're infinetely further ahead than me.
I know their lives are probably not as perfect as they seem, but at least they're successful and admired.
(It's not just about looks, btw, so don't go down that road. Also, I am eighteen, so don't you dare take down my post because I used the word "teen," moderators.)
