Jealousy.

Beauty intimidates, correct?  I believe this whole-heartedly.  Beautiful people are intimidating, but it's all in the mindset.  You will always run into people that are prettier, skinnier, dress better, have better skin than you. If you are don't know your beauty, you will feel inferior to these people.  Listen, self pity will get you no where.  Hating yourself won't make you prettier.  Find things that you love in yourself like your hair, eyes, your laugh, etc.  If you pin point what you love about you then beautiful people won't be as intimidating.  If you need a little extra help put these things you love on sticky notes on your mirror.  Then when you're getting ready, you will be looking at things you love about yourself.  

There was this girl that was new and she was gorgeous.  One of my friends came up and told me she looked like a mean girl.  This judgement was purely based on her being pretty.  It was obvious then that to my friend, beauty was mean.  I am begging you, don't make these kind of judgements they just rot away at your opportunity to get to know them for who they are.  

When you look up jealousy this is what comes up: 


Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, particularly in reference to a human connection. Jealousy often consists of a combination of presenting emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness and disgust.    


So pretty much, jealousy is being bitter about what you don't have.  What a waste of time!  Who wants to spend their time thinking about what the lack?  If you live your life like this, it's draining.  When you contantly think about how inferior you are, you will never feel good.  Talking about what others lack might make you feel good for a moment, but what good does it do in the long run? You feel guilty and that person feels inferior.  Girls, why do we do this to each other?! I don't get it.  We are all so beautiful, no need to hate.  Love yourself and love others. 

"And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
 Matthew 22:39
