Okay. So I'm a teenage girl (obviously), so when you're a teenage girl you go through this phase where you just get jealous of everyone and everything. That's simple enough, right? But not for me. Ever since I was little, whenever I would read a book or watch a t.v. show or watch a movie and there was always this really hot guy, I would end up falling in love with him, the character. And than there would be this girl and they would end up together and it would literally, kill me. Like, every time I see this, till this day, I die a little inside. Like Selena Gomez for example. She used to be my complete and total idol. I would watch her show and defend her whenever somebody said something wrong about her like she was my own big sister. And than when she started dating Justin Bieber, I was so hateful towards her. I literally told myself every single day, Selena Gomez should just die or something. And I never sent her a death threat or anything and I didn't go emo because of it, but I was so jealous of her and Jasmine Villegas. I just, nothing seems fair really. I was just watching the new t.v. movie 'Blue Lagoon: The Awakening' and I immediately saw the guy and I was like 'KOOTAY'. And than I was like 'No, never mind'. And than he reminded me of Harry Styles so I had to love him again and than there was this girl and I got so jealous and I started making fun of the show. I don't know what it is with me. I've been trying to come to terms that there are going to be people better than me and I'm trying to help myself but it's like, it's not working. You know? Okay, I'm going to write down some steps to help myself:
1. If someone starts making you feel bad about yourself, tell them to fuck off. Who are they to you?
2. If you see celebrities that make you feel inferior, cut them out of your life.
(When I finally realized I had an unhealthy obsession with jealousy, I stopped watching the Teen Choice Awards and MTV Movie Awards and not the MTV Music Awards, I actually really like that one). But stop watching their shows, reading magazines and leave the room if there movie or show comes on.
3. Make yourself feel pretty. If you don't like the way you look, just change it. You don't always need to change it, because people are beautiful, but if it's eating you alive, hell, get a tan, work-out, get highlights, paint your nails. MAKE yourself feel beautiful. You don't need society to tell you how to live your life.
4. YOLO. I know that it is stupid and all but it is really amazing to live by. Because you may think, wow, I didn't know I could only live once, I thought I was a cat. But when you want to do something crazy and stupid that you just can't justify, YOLO. When you wear sweatpants on a gorgeous Summer day, YOLO. When you throw your hair up in a bun, put on short shorts and a Taylor Swift tee, YOLO. When you feel like not doing your homework or taking a test, YOLO. Because this IS your time to screw up, but be good. And when I say YOLO (you only live once, obvi.), I feel like I can do whatever the hell I want.
So those are some tips for MYSELF and you if it helps. Comment down below some more posts you might want to see and tell me how you deal with jealousy, because we all go through it.

You know, jealousy comes from an inferiority feeling you might have. It is not enough to ignore things that make you feel bad, you must surround yourself with things that make you feel good. Like books. You know?
