I'm sorry to say this but I honestly can't believe any of the ladies who voted they don't compare themselves to other women. How do you do that, stay indoors all day and have zero contact with the outside world? I'd believe it if you said I try not to care about other women and try instead to like myself as much as possible, but to say you never compare, I can't understand that at all. I'd love to hear what the ladies who voted I don't compare have to say - if it's true, you have a valuable secret and I want to be in on it!

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
