Life :: Online Jealousy

Via Tumblr.

You know what’s weird? Watching other people’s lives go by, when you feel like your standing still. Sometimes, one feels a sense of relief, “at least I’m better off than so and so.” or sometimes it’s a feeling of jealousy.

Yes. I get serious blog/life/looks jealousy. I admit it. My life seems so unfabulous next to all the bloggers that I read, or even old schoolmates. Recently, I was creeping on Facebook, which I will point out that I do rarely. I somehow started linking to all these profiles of people I went to college with, and BAM. It’s right there. An old crush is engaged. It makes me feel like I’m running behind, and that I should be engaged now. It also makes me feel so wistful. Not because I wish that I was getting married to him, but of the good old days when I was in college and partying it up with those guys. It definitely makes me miss the feeling of a solid group of friends.

But then I just have to remind myself of what I do have, and realize that yes, I am fabulously happy. I have a good job, an amazing boyfriend, and a place all to my own. Sure, I’m not jetsetting across the world, and I’m not a famous model [haha], but it’s my life and it’s fabulous. Sometimes you just need to remind yourself of everything good in one’s life.

Now, my life will be even more amazing once I get this damn marketing report done… Must. Complete. Tonight.
