Jealousy
Why are we so focused on others instead of ourselves?
Jealousy,
That crazy feeling you get
When someone else has gotten ahead
Gotten ahead of you
Doing better than you
Making more money than you
We all get this way from time to time
We want to be the one who shines
But why get so jealous of someone else’s life
We all reach success at different times
You see someone who is the same age as you
This person may have more than you and you may feel like
“Why don’t I have that?”
There’s no specific age limit to having a car, a job, an apartment or whatever
Your life is completely different from someone else’s
So don’t take away someone else’s shine with all that negativity
Thats when jealously takes place, and that often means you are insecure
Stop focusing so much on other people’s life
Focus on yours, and how you can make it the best it can be
Stop feeling so threatened and challenged when other people are succeeding
Learn to Congratulate, we will all fail and succeed that’s life.

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
