Jealousy....it's a fickle and worthless emotion. So why is it so hard to ignore? Is there a way to feel confident enough in yourself to not worry about losing those you love? If we can trust that our friends won't betray us, why then, is it so difficult to do the same with significant others? Why is it, the closer you get to someone, the less you actually trust them? And why is that god damn voice in my head so fucking persistent!?! If those we love never give us reason to be suspicious, and show only care and affection, but can't help but notice when others are attractive, is that enough reason for the green eyed monster of jealousy to take over? Or is that the time when both need to realize the truth of what's happening and just accept it? Noticing and Doing are completely different, right? Accepting one another's fault's is a huge part of being in love....But what happens when one person's fault is the other's greatest insecurity? Is there a way to work it out? I sincerely hope so. How do you ignore your jealous feelings? Is there any way to just let it go?? But beyond all this, why is inner peace so hard to find and hold on to?
