I must belong

Nancy was all dolled up in her red gown, matching red shoes and red lipstick. The perfect definition of Lady in Red!
A beauty, true and true.

She had thoughtfully put every detail in place for this day.
It was a constant torture hearing friends talking about how they've been to this and that places, three stars, five stars, even 10 star hotels.
The experiences of been on exotic trips.
Unfortunately these were trips that her friends didn't pay for.

Nancy was blessed to become friends with some wealthy course mates when she got into the University.
Of course their lives were naturally characterized by affluence and influence which Nancy heard about and was able to enjoy a few.

However, she resorted to finding ways to try to do things to supposedly 'fit in'.
Hmmmmmmm of course these friends were only living off family wealth and the likes.
Nancy went from lying, to different kinds of scheming, how about boyfriend?

She told herself she deserved the good life as well.
Wardrobe change
Accent change
Skin toning
Everything was put into making her look the part.

It's the same way with some of us.
We want to create a perception.
People must know we've arrived
We'd rather spend our all 'packaging' than actually living and growing at our pace
Any one who pressures you to live beyond your means or level or looks down on you for where you are is not really your friend 

Do not also pressure yourself to look or fit into the life is A, B or C. 
You never know how long it took them to get where they are
Neither do you know the price they're paying for where they are.
Grow at your own pace and grow with peace of mind
