Envy

Friday, January 10, 2014

Reading someone else's accomplishments makes me angry. I struggle to hide my envy...

"I hear you loud and clear!" You post pictures online of the things you've seen, the new people you meet, and the exotic foods you eat.  You post them because you know we're watching, imagining and wishing it were us. Okay, so we religiously look through your pictures, read all your posts, and keep up to date with your blog, but it's only to be sure we don't miss a thing. Isn't that what you'd do if it were you living vicariously through one of us? 

You post to show off, you write to brag, I guess you act the way you do because you can. Truth is, you're the kid that nobody likes. You try so hard to fit in which makes you the most hated. You talk trash on all your "friends" and the way we live, but remember who you are because your past life never fades. So, act how you want but you will always be the kid that everyone hates, there's no denying your fate. 

Sure you've seen the world, traveled to every country twice, "news flash--no one cares, move on!" You've achieved just about every one of our dreams, but we still hate you. While we remain stuck in this same city, with the same ole friends, working some fucking 9-5 job staring at a computer screen all day, you're off gala-venting doing God knows what somewhere far far away...So go ahead brag to the media, share you're stories, upload your pics, we've got nothing better to do than click 'like', just know you're still the kid not a one of us truly likes -- but secretly, we all want your life.

  1. huh... Aquinas observed that envy was the one deadly sin that never offered temporary happiness.

    Not sure who you're writing this about, but damn, you sound mad too. :-)
