You don’t have to go the way everyone else goes. this is your life.

Everyone else's life reaches you edited. You see the announcement, never the eleven months before it, and you set that against your own unedited Wednesday.

It is a rigged comparison, and during a hard stretch it is a particularly cruel one, because the gap between their highlight and your ordinary is at its very widest.

Your version has different terrain in it. Slower in places, and carrying things nobody else on that screen is carrying. A route cannot be judged against a photograph of somebody else's.
