The French can make anything beautiful, including jealousy. So, what do we do when jealousy strikes? Look no further than a Parisian. But still, underneath it all was jealousy.Īpparently, diamonds aren’t my thing…. In fact, I was the one who talked her into buying it for herself when we were in Paris. Of course, I love my friend and was happy that she had this handbag. I felt this little pang of envy in my stomach. She indiscreetly pulled her wallet out of a the most perfect spring handbag. It was over a morning pour over coffee at my favorite little coffee shop with my friend, Lisa. This time also involved a meet up with a girlfriend.Īnd this time, jealousy reared its head when I least expected it. About that time I felt a deep pang of envy. Understanding more about the life you desire really helps eliminate unnecessary jealousy.
So I realized that I was actually very happy for her, not jealous. Been there done that.Īnd, while this seems cliche, I marry myself in Paris every time I go. I love working and being financially independent.īig diamonds, meh, they don’t do it for me. I realized that this wasn’t the life I craved. This is the typical Cinderella story that would make most woman burst with envy.īut, the fairytale that she had described, why wasn’t I feeling some kind of envy? Why was I truly able to be 100% happy for her?Īs much as I’d love to tell you that I have some special powers, or I have transcended jealousy and envy, that’s not why. She seemed to “have it all”: Wedding in Paris, a huge wedding ring, a mansion in Connecticut, no more work, just hosting dinner parties and playing weekday tennis matches at the exclusive country club…. I found this odd, because I’m not above being jealous. What may shock you is that I sat there feeling nothing but joy for her. In case you haven’t figured it out by now, Jason is filthy rich.
Oh, and did I mention that they were getting married in Paris?
