We've all been there. You're walking to class and someone in a fancy new car passes you, or you see someone with the new phone you know you'll never be able to afford. You're jealous, it's normal. But even more than being jealous of people's things, we've been jealous of people's lives. Their nice houses, their popular friends, their money, and their love lives. You know that kid in high school that you had a massive crush on but they never really responded to you in "that way"? You never really knew why until you saw them batting their eyelashes at your friend. Then suddenly it all made sense and you wanted to punch your friend in the face even though it's nothing they did and you REALLY want what they have; you want to be looked at by that person. But in order to have that would mean taking it away from someone else, whether you know them or not. No matter how much you may want it, it's not yours to have or ruin or to try and take away. None of us are innocent, I'm not. Hell I've tried to do it to someone, break up a relationship, and it's cruel and selfish and I hated myself for it. I've also been on the other side, trying to defend my relationship against a "threat" that shouldn't exist. And you know, 9 times out of 10, that relationship you want SO badly to not work out is too solid for you to come between anyways. Then what? You aren't any closer to what you want but you're also embarrassed and you probably lost a friend in the process.
This isn't a bashing piece telling you that you're wrong or hateful for wanting someone else's man or woman. You're entitled to however you feel about whoever you feel it for. However, you aren't entitled to hurt another person for personal gain, you are not entitled to be that kind of person, nor should you want to be! You have a huge heart, you're attractive and you have so much to give to someone and you deserve to have that. But love and respect yourself enough to find someone who can give it back to you. Everyone deserves to feel happiness and love, don't ever try to take that away from someone instead find it on your own in your own way! It's much more satisfying.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evilbut rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
