Comment on I’m 17 and I’m decent. Just decent.

Someone will always be better than you.

There's never going to be a point in your life when you are objectively the greatest.

Once you realize that, its freeing. Unshackling yourself from the world means you can get back to being happy.

I think this really reflects on how bad a writer I am. I wasn't trying so hard to compare myself to others, but rather to show that in my opinion, I'm not doing anything but the standard stuff, that's pointless in my opinion, while other people are doing things they care about and are interested in. It would lead to decency, but not satisfaction, contribution, or change of any sort. Might have missed the point a little while writing the piece.
