seven days of deadly: envy
Pride yesterday was really hard! Good for me, but really hard.
Envy, on the other hand, should be a cakewalk. =P
Day Two: Envy - Seven things you lack and covet
Since there's a "greed" day later on, I'm going to go with (if I can!) strictly things that are non-purchasable, except on occasions when they're specific things that belong to certain people.
1. Self esteem. Awwww yeah. I'm getting better at this all the time, but it doesn't change the fact that I'd love to naturally have a good self-image, rather than having to work at it all the time. But maybe everybody has that problem!
2. A boyfriend. Or girlfriend? Or hookup-who-treats-me-right? Or satisfactory romantic entanglement lasting longer than 24 hours? TAKE YOUR PICK. I do love being single (autonomy! self-respect! free time! flirting with everyone alive!) but at the same time, with six of my close friends in goopy happy relationships at varying stages ... it's rough, y'all, is what I'm saying.
3. Prettyful hair. Even though my hair is better than perhaps it's ever been (I love letting it get long!), I envy basically anyone with a great haircut. Or pretty luxurious waves! Or a pixie cut that works for them. Or crazy hair dye! Haaaaair.
4. The ability to finish this freaking novel draft. I don't resent people who have this ability. But I DO resent my own unfinished novel draft that my friends keep asking me about. I got the most written on it when I was trying to distract myself from how much my relationship sucked.
5. Earning power. I WANT A REAL JOB. I want to be confident that I'll remember to pay all my bills! I don't even have bills now! Also I never seem to save enough to get the things I really desperately want because they're too expensive for my meager student salary. Aaaaaadgjfkjgaaah!
6. Glamor. Some people seem to naturally possess this trait? These are people who aren't me.
7. Super incredible dance skills. Maybe I need to just dance for longer, but with dancers who are amazing, like instructors, I get all yearny. "I want to be able to do thaaaaaaat." D:
Day One: Pride - Seven great things about yourself
