Once upon the time there was a girl.  The girl felt very accomplished at her life so far.  She felt blessed and gifted, and she knew she was loved, but one sad day all those things were taken from her!  Simply grabbed from her hands and thrown away.  She got angry at first, but then she got depressed and lost her touch.  

She always had a special touch in whatever she did from giving a hug to her mother to drawing a sketch, to writing an essay for school.  It was her touch and everyone knew who that hug was from, who drew that picture, and who wrote that essay.  She felt good about her touch.

Then one day another girl, similar to her in many ways came.  This new girl also had a special touch, but it wasn't just special, it was super.  A super touch that screamed for compliments, coments, praise, and support and got more than enough feedback.  This new girl also felt blessed, gifted, and she knew she was loved.  She overpowered the girl and took away everything that made up her identity.

The girl sat in her own self pitty for a long time until she realized that this new girl wasn't her.  She wasn't her at all and she didn't have her special touch.  The girl had her own special touch that nobody could take from her.  

From then on the girl who felt blessed, gifted and loved, stopped comparing herself to others and started concentrating on herself.  
However, this girl didn't live happily ever after.  She slipped up on the moral of this story a lot, but who's perfect?

How true, no one is perfect, are they? And NO ONE lives happily ever after, either, not even the ones who we think do!

 God bless you all. :-)
