we all have it! You can say "you are wrong Tara, I am not jealous of anything" and you know what? I would know you are lying!! Clearly even if you try not to be jealous there are times when you are..even if it is only when you see somebody walking past you in like the best shoes ever, you know that statement "I wish I had those shoes" that is a jealous statement...
Anyways, I am talking the bigger type of jealousy where you look at someone Else's life and you think..why the heck does it all seem to work out for them? when you look and think I want what they have.. their life, their job, their bank account, their opportunity, whatever it is it is bigger then a pair of awesome shoes. The kind of jealousy where the grass is greener on the other side.
The kind of jealousy that leaves us feeling incontinent with the life we have and always wanting more. I don't think it is bad to want more for yourself and want to work towards a "better life"(for lack of a better term) but I do think there is something wrong with not being content in who you are, in what you have..I think there is something wrong with the jealousy that bring incontintment..the jealousy that leaves you not loving your life and not content with what you have at this moment while you work towards your goal, bettering you.
The question is how do you exit it from your life? How do live to be content with what you have, and who you are?

See The Real You
Question. Do you think the world, wants to see the mask you have put on or your beautiful face?
I can actually not tell you what the world wants to see, but I can tell you that I want to see your beautiful face instead! I want to know you and not the mask.
Who is the real you? So often we put on different masks depending on who we are with and the situation we find ourselves in. But why?? Is is not better to just be authentic? I think it is, but being authentic, being real puts you in a very vulnerable spot. It can be scary, I know!!!
But the real you is way better then looking at any mask you put on, no matter how fancy that mask is. The real you is just much more beautiful even if you think parts of the real you are really ugly. Know that I think that those parts make you even more perfect, even more beautiful! We all have ugly parts, but those parts are what make us the people we are today.
My O My you are gorgeous just the way you are. So, please take your mask off..I like what I see behind that mask, the real you SO much better!!

Filling Holes, Finding yourself
Have you ever had a loss in your life?..sure you have, we all have at some point. moving away from a friend, losing a loved one, being dumped, someone ate your ice cream...whatever it is you have had a loss.
Have you ever done this, or I am I the only crazy one? Have you ever tried to fill the hole that, that loss leaves? Fill it with drinking, partying, doing more things, fill it with other people, however you try to do it..instead of feeling the pain or letting the hole bleed, and scab and heal you fill it with gauze. The sucky part of this is eventually the gauze comes out and about 90% of the time the hole is reopened and infected.
Why the heck do we do this to ourselves..why do I do this to myself, the infected wound takes longer to heal then the wound that was there in the first place. If I would just take the time to clean it to give it time to heal in the first place the wound will heal, it may ooze a bit first but eventually it will heal..but instead of just letting it heal I fill it with gauze and usually tape the gauze on..and then when it happens and the tape comes off, the gauze falls out and things are so much worse then they could have been, would have been instead of having this little scar, now I have this rash from the tape, and oozing puss and I feel like life is falling apart, and everything seems to irritate the infected wound, and after an infected wound heals the scar is usually a little bigger then what it would have been in the first place..because now it is not laced with the memories it is often laced with the memories and some regret....WHY THE HECK DO WE DO THIS TO OURSELVES.

REFLECTIONS
When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see... Go stand in front of the mirror right now, if you were a person looking at you, would you like what you see....Now don't look at the color of your eyes, your hair do, the clothes you are wearing, the shape of your body, look at you! who you are!
When you look at you do you like what you see... Do you like the decisions you are making... Do you like how you are treating those around you...do you like how you are treating yourself...
Maybe a better question is...would you want someone to be like you.... Cause guess what people are watching you... Some one is striving to be like you, to love like you, are you living the example life.
