lowkey jealous but i shouldn’t be

Okay, hear me out. My bestie, Chloe, just landed this *insane* dream internship at a super cool tech startup – like, full-on Silicon Valley vibes, incredible pay, and she'll be working on stuff she's genuinely passionate about. And like, I'm *so* happy for her, truly! I cheered her on through all the applications and interviews. But also, I'm lowkey spiraling because I'm stuck in a job I don't love and feel like I'm going nowhere. I feel like a terrible person for even feeling this way. She totally deserves it, and it's not her fault I'm not where I want to be. But why do I feel like I'm stuck while everyone else is just... thriving? 🥺🫠 #genzproblems #jealousy #friendshipgoals (kinda) #overthinking #adultingishard

Okay, hear me out ka1.wn, that's SO valid. It's totally human to feel a lil' something when someone close achieves big things, even if you're happy for them. It's not 'bad' jealousy, it's just like, 'dang, when's it my turn?' Don't beat yourself up over it. Fr.

Comparison is the thief of joy, bestie. Your journey is your own. Use her success as inspo, not a metric for your own. What do YOU want? Go chase that instead of spiraling over someone else's timeline. You got this! ✨
