It's so easy to be envious. It's so easy to want what you don't have. Easy to think you need something you don't have.

With Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, & Snapchat, you get to see what everyone's up to, what they have, what they're doing, what they're eating, and where they're going. With all these images, if you're not careful, you can become so envious that it's unhealthy. And that's not love. You grow jealous of their materialistic things, or their success, or their endeavors, that you (in some sort of way) spite them. And just like that little green monster... it grows. The spite turns into dislike... and evolve into hate.

I say this... I know this... because I've been through it. I go through it. (As is in, yes, it still happens.) We girls have this horrible habit... well at least I do/did. (I kinda explained my thoughts on that here.) And if I'm not careful, it can take hold of me. The only difference is now... I catch myself. I literally check myself before I wreck myself. (insert snaps here.) I make sure I'm heart is in the right place. I stand back and ask myself... Do I want that because she has it? Am I trying to get it before she does? Do I actually need it? I know those questions are more geared to the materialistic things, but you know what I mean.

Being in this self-betterment journey, I'm learning one major thing.
