U.S. Suicide Rate Surges to a 30-Year High
This isn&#x27;t surprising at all. Social media permeating every inch of our souls, just drowns people in everyone else&#x27;s seemingly perfect lives. When people view Facebook feeds of everyone on vacation, eating amazing food, taking amazing adventures. It makes you feel like you&#x27;re missing out on all of that, and that your life can&#x27;t possibly compare. While in reality, it&#x27;s many cherry picked snippets of potentially hundreds and thousands of lives. I&#x27;ve certainly caught myself being worried about not being at my maximum potential, why didn&#x27;t I go to an Ivy league school, why didn&#x27;t I work harder and play with the big boys Silicon Valley, why am I not out traveling the world living carefree. However from any outsider, I&#x27;d be viewed as incredibly successful. It&#x27;s a sad state to be in, and you just have to distance yourself from it. It&#x27;s awesome to have goals, but you can&#x27;t expect to be able to achieve the goals of hundreds of people simultaneously.
