I am done being petty
this is from post secret.
At one point I bought into the whole “winning” and “losing” concept- in relation to past boyfriends or ex-friends.
Now it seems so petty and immature- but is there a grain of truth to it?
Is it all a competition to see who has the upper hand or “wins” at life?
Whoever gets over their ex first- wins? Whoever marries first- wins?
“His new girlfriend is fat! I win!”
I don’t like the idea of being the “winner” because it requires looking down on someone else- and being happy in their (perceived) misery or (perceived) “loss”.
I think I’ve grown out of the desire for other people to be more miserable than I am.
Game over.
