"It pains me to admit (even anonymously) that i am sometimes so jealous of my best friend. If we aren't achieving - in whatever, relationships, work, school, looks - at the same time, I feel terrible about myself and can't help but compare myself to her, sometimes wondering if she will become so successful and leave me behind. it's weird because I don't do this with any of my other female friends and it makes me feel like I'm not a girls' girl because this is my bestest friend I'm talking about. am i not a girls' girl? how do i become one?" —unstablegirl
Beautiful, fun writing about a beautiful, fun friendship — and dare I say a healthy and even clever outlook on often-icky feelings. Merci for the perspective.
Loved reading this. Will definitely think of 'defanging' next time this feeling bubbles up.
