When we are little we always dream of the most amazing life and all the things we will do. As time goes on and years pass us by the dream starts to tear apart piece by piece. You’ll see people that came from horrible childhoods accomplish way more at your age than you have. Parents and adults always tell us jealousy isn’t a good trait when we are young, but what if it isn’t so bad after all. It’s okay to be jealous of your friends, family, and peers. Without jealousy we wouldn’t have the push we needed to accomplish just as much or even more than them. Jealousy can be turned into such a beautiful thing if you take the time to understand it. My friend Lizzy has been in college for about 6 years and her job laid her off and gave her a huge payout of $20,000, meanwhile I’m a struggling content creator who has been at it for years with nothing to show for it. Who wouldn’t be jealous of that? The thing is you never know when your time is coming I could blow up one day and make hundreds of thousands of dollars while they’re working a tiring job day in and day out. I maybe be jealous but it pushes me to go harder just so I can be just as good or better. You can always start your life whenever you please just because they started at 18 doesn’t mean you can’t start at 40. Jealousy is a beautiful thing if you make it that way and it’s okay to be jealous just make sure you make the best out of that feeling.
