The amount of focus a person engaging too much in social media can cause this despair. Not saying it's Instagram's/FB/Tweeter's fault, but comparing yourself hourly to the 'fairy tales' out there can break even the strongest spirit.

Comparing yourself to all these super-unicorn-entrepreneurs daily was taking it's toll on my appreciation of what I had already accomplished. All things in balance. Know thyself.
