HELL AND DAMNATION. I am jealous! ಠ益ಠ
Well…. I have to shamefully admit it. After all, I am a human being. This is perfectly normal, right? To feel these surge of emotions and to feel all aching inside because of the constant denying and rebuffing? Nevertheless, I am a pool of emotions right now.
“Oh life, you spoil me too much”
Jealousy. Jealousy. Jealousy? I once hated that sensation. For me, t’was nothing but mere pure guilt and shame. Something that “bad’ people feel, something that I SHOULDN’T feel. But now growing up, I start to appreciate being “jealous”. Philosophically, I think it’s a way to realize what you lack in life and what you want. And I think it impacts us in a good way, because after the DEPRESSION EPISODE wherein you gasps and choke for air, eat (specifically sweets ) till you break and then contemplate about the guilt after,you realize that you’ve been missing things out, and then you strive and work hard for it like there’s no tomorrow; actively participating in any chance to take it. And without you knowing, YOU, bit by bit is now growing to be an outstanding citizen : opening doors and opportunities, knocking on windows, handing out flyers, selling girl scout cookies and massaging your grandma for a few extra bucks. YES! You will do anything legal tasks to GET WHAT YOU WANT.
And then when you finally get it, it’s either two of things :
SCENARIO 1 : Hey ! This feels so GREAT! I feel so elated and enlightened. I’m glad I worked hard for this. ٩(^‿^)۶
SCENARIO 2 : What the FCK!? ╚(•⌂•)╝ Where’s the FCKING rainbows and the angels in chorus ?! I can’t believe I worked hard for what? FOR NOTHING! This is such a waste.
Either way, Scenario 1 or Scenario 2, it works out. The latter made you realize something far more valuable and inculcates a life lesson to you. DO NOT JUST DO WHAT YOU FCKING WANT. THINK ABOUT IT, MORON.
Anyways, let me get down to the core of the apple. The reason of the pang of guilt and the spark of jealousy in my heart? A book that I just finished reading o(╥﹏╥)o
HELL YEAH! Eat, Pray, Love baby ! Well I’ll be doing a book review anytime soon. Well as soon as I finish proofreading my review that is. Anyways, I love the book and I love the story, the characters, the humor. EVERYTHING.
So what was I jealous about? TRAVELING . INDONESIA, ITALY, INDIA. FCKING WAIT FOR ME THERE.
God Bless Brazilians !
