Just something...

[fox_reed]

A friend of mine admitted to being jealous of me yesterday... and it shocked me. It shocked me more than I admitted or knew at the time. Because the things she was saying, the things she was jealous about... they all seemed so wrong somehow. I know she was just upset at a little thing, I know that she wasn't angry or mad at me. I know exactly what

Well I hope she reads this, because I think it explains things very well! And it's foolish to be jealous of your best friends - though *everyone* does it sometimes, as well.

The creativity jealousy thing I've seen before...us artists/writers can be an odd lot ><.

*nodnod* Mmhmm, I know. It's silly to be jealous and I know everyone does it, hell, I do it myself! But yesterday it just seemed to be something that set her off and upset her a lot. I wasn't very awake at the time so didn't know what to say, so I tried here today. I hope she understands that I wasn't getting at her and was just trying to explain a few things out... But I dunno. I love her and I just wanted her to know that.

hehe, yep, and creative jealousy is something I've seen a lot of too, in myself as well as others. I'd have understood that a lot more if my friend wasn't so talented herself! Far more than I could ever be! I've actually been jealous of her a lot with some of the things she can do... it's honestly amazing! But you're right, artist/writers can be an add lot! And we're not exceptions!

(btw, that was me that's added you on AIM - I sawyou flick on and off a while back..:))

Hmm... on AIM? I signed off because there was someone online I wasn't too keen to speak with! I'm still there, only invisible... so if you wanna talk, feel free to IM me! *grins* If you can't see me, it usually means I'm invisible!

This is difficult ne...I suppose it's only natural to have jealousy in us..^^;;; And I understand cause my friends are like that with each other sometimes..it's usually so easy to be jealous with someone especially that said someone is extra close to you. Ok,I think I've said too much nonsense..^^;; Gomen ne..

[fox_reed]

*nodnod* I know. Sometimes I get jealous too... but its a fleeting thing. But it's never happened to me. I mean, no one's ever been jealous of me. And it shocked me when she said it...

But it's all okay now! At least... I hope it is.

*hugs*
And this wasn't nonsense! I understood it perfectly!!

I've had people tell me they were jealous of me before. That they were jealous of how strong I am. But I always get a little angry because I know it's not the real me they're jealous of it's the act I put on that they're jealous of. So I know how you feel. But there's one specific thing that caught my attention and that's this: Always try to be yourself fully. If people don't like you when you are depressed or moody then they aren't very good friends in the first place. Just try your best to always be yourself.

And I hope you know that I only comment on people's entries that I feel some sort of connection with and feel like I can say something constructive. I never comment just because it's there and I feel obligated to. That'd be wrong in my book because then I'd be saying nothing productive for them. I'm probably not saying anything productive for you but e.e sorry lol I hope your friend can read this and knows how you feel now.

Wow, you strangely just described my online persona.. X_x

[fox_reed]

*laughs* Really? How odd! =^-^=

[jyuufish]

Yes, the person online is not even close to the person online, I have had people profess jealousy of myself as well. (none of them close) and out of a FList of 400+, I only hold like 6 people close.. the rest comment when I have something to say and then, meh I suppose.

*hugs* sometimes, i feel like i'm hiding behind a mask too. i feel the need to be happy or else people won't like me. i understand how you feel.

even though you "copy" some elements of your art from other people, that still makes you creative. at least you've worked and practised hard to get where you are at today, ne? =) even if i don't know you very well, i hope to in the future and maybe you won't feel like you'd ahve to put up an act around me. fighto! oh<3
