We all get jealous. We get jealous of others achievements, relationships, family life, looks, etc. The list will go on forever. I personally do not like being jealous. I hate it with such a passion. It is a a part of me I find ugly. What my boyfriend has taught me about my jealousy is it being a natural reaction. It makes me feel disgusting, yet the person I love tells me to just know it is normal. Honestly, hearing those words made me feel better about my jealousy. I know it is apart of me and I can fix it. I have fixed it to a point where I am not jealous all the time. In order to fix my jealousy I came to terms with my ugly side. I decided to deal with it and suppress the emotions in a healthier manner. I was a super jealous person in the past and those were some awful times. It was hard starting something with my boyfriend at first because of it. I was jealous of how my friends in college got such good relationships and the family relationships they had. I want you to really look into what you have. If you could tell me what you are jealous about, could you say it is a big deal? I can be jealous of these things all day long. At the same time what does it matter. It is a back and forth thing yes. I say certain emotions are natural but do not let it consume your life. You are special in your own way and have something better already. If you believe you do not have something better than strive for it.
