Why do I look at their pictures and get lost in a world of 'I wish I was....'.
In truth, I don't want to be anyone else or look like them, or have blonde hair, or have curly hair, or be short, or be able to wear 4 inch heels, or be able to lead a band as a singer, to be that confident or be outgoing and silly and whimsical and talented and .....
Oh yeah, I do.
Time to grow up? I think so. Just tell my juvenile jealousy that.

Even at my age I find myself experiencing some of those feelings.
I totally get what you're saying. A long time ago I taught myself to say in my head that I am happy for them that they have __________ or are ____________ . Then told myself 1 wonderful thing about me and my life that they don't possess. It really taught me to be happy for others and find things about myself or my life that were just as much a blessing.

Good tip, Beth! And Becky - eek, I can't believe it's not going to go away! We are all such individual people, it is truly silly to be jealous isn't it? Hehe.
