Jealousy. While such an ugly trait many of us possess it. Not in the most extreme forms, but rather the most subtle. So subtle that we could probably live our entire life without anyone ever knowing that jealousy lived within us; because everything about us was the very opposite of what jealousy is believed to be.
We often think about the mean girl in the movie who picks on someone because in all reality she wishes she could be like that person. The character that does everything to ruin someone’s reputation or business because they want to be the one on top.
The story we barely see or that is overlooked is the kid who grows up always yearning for that love they’ve seen so many others receive, never really experiencing it for themselves. And because of this rejection as they move through life when approached with that love they’ve longed for; they become attached and selfish.
They don’t want that love to be given to anyone else and if it is they may present it as a joke or laugh it off but really they are scared.
Scared that that love cannot exist within two spaces.
Scared that they will in turn receive the short end of the stick because.... they’ve always been the one to be rejected in the end.
But even still--- jealousy is an ugly trait.
