...with envy!
Has anyone watched "Gone with the Wind?"
In that movie Scarlett says that at some point.
Lately, envy has reared its ugly head in my world.
Facebook is a source, but I also think that Facebook alone does not make one jealous.
One must be in a {funky} state to begin with in order to look on Facebook and become jealous of mere {aquaintances}.
Recently I mentioned my philosophy on Jealousy, which I have had for a very long time....since I was around 12.
Jealousy:
There is no need for it because If you are jealous of someone for any reason, you only have two choices:
1. Get what they have--work hard etc, and figure out how to have that thing, or situation, or {whatever}
or
2. Realize that you are not gonna have that {thing} and get the hell over it!
I mean jealousy is a terrible feeling and if every part of your logical mind tells you "that ain't ever gonna happen."--Then you need to just forget that {thing} and get the hell over it!
The END.
So, at 35 I have just been wallowing in jealousy!
I get on facebook and see someone who sells butt lift videos for a living in a {pyramid} sales fashion from her house--and I will be!--she and her husband are going on a cruise--FORFREE! b/c she has sold so many butt lift videos!!
**What I am thinking**
Why in the HELL did I spend six years becoming educated to have a job at which I will never even make 50 thousand dollars a year???-When I could sell F*cking butt lift videos and go on cruises!!???
I can tell ya....sometimes having a {profession} no vale la pena! Some days there is not a lot of gratification in what I do.
If, however, I were not on facebook-- I would barely know this person. I certainly would not know about her all expense paid cruise--points against facebook!
I guess anyone who reads this blog can take this example and multiply this by ten and then there is the facebook fun/my life is wonderful/boastfest that I have decided I can no longer suffer.
Now, to stop this terrible wave of jealousy that has swept over me...that is another story.
It is totally my problem...some mindset thing...and it will change! :)

I know what you mean, ignorance is bliss! I liked not knowing what random people were up to!
There are so many of us feeling that! I mean, it is unrealistic nonsense for me to even BE "friends" with most of these people that I haven't seen since I grad. HS in '93. If I was connected on FB with the people I would like updates from, I am happy to say my friend list would be an intimate circle :) Friends With Substance - trademark it.
But PC and societal norms force to forever and ever be Friends with random people - or get off FB and miss the at-times valuable news and connections.
I feel ya. Go butt-lift lady. HA
