Is anyone allowed to be happy?
Can I be happy and share my positivity with you without being accused of rubbing it in?
If my happiness triggers some kind of weird competitive instinct in you, is that my problem or yours?
Why does your misery correlate to my happiness?
Do girls want other girls to attain any level of happiness? Or just one level less than them?
These are all things I've been thinking about recently. I'm really trying to find some answers, besides the typical "jealousy" excuse. There's more to this than just jealousy. There's hate and spite and malice. There's a lot of measuring oneself in relation to others. I know we're social and there's always some extent of defining ourselves in relation to our peers, but we're also individuals who are capable of defining ourselves based on the reality we choose to create for ourselves.
In an unhappy situation? A situation is something created by you and the participants in that situation. Outsiders have nothing to do with it. Change it if you don't like it. But don't take it out on the people around you. YOU made your decisions and you have to live with them, but that doesn't mean that you can't be happy too. Make some decisions now, about what you want in life regardless of what everyone else has.
Go. Now.

I'm glad you invited me- I don't often read blogs : ) But this one is good! Thanks for the invite! So wise to go private so you can vent without judgement.
And the answer is- it ain't like this with the women I know!
Nutso in this town. I have been simply Agog.
Its like I JUST put on my FB status. "wherever you go- there you are".
Sheesh, even after you go private, you keep posting blogs about me.
Fine, I've always been jealous of your hair.
And that one time, I tried to break into your house and cut it of and make it mine.
But I thought we worked out all this issues in our therapy sessions.
I had something to say and then? I read Catwoman's comment and damn near pissed myself.
Thanks for letting me tag along to the private side!
I hate you. syke. or is it psyche?...anyway, seriously, some gals are put off by security and happiness. They just can't believe that anyone else isn't as much of a Negative Nancy as they are. I love it when people share their happiness - I think it's infections. And I'm an asshole and could use a good spread of cheer any old time.
Two good quotes I've read recently:
"When you judge others, you are revealing your own fears, insecurities, and prejudices..."
Along with that it read:
"...Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others..."
Damn Amber. That shit is deep.
pooh on jealous people!! please, continue on....being happy. I am!
Amen...Sistah
