I'm despairingly jealous constantly. My friends all have better lives than me. Literally. Out of all my real life friends, I'm the only one from a low income family. They've never had to worry about spending $10 on a phone case. I can never buy anything because we're too poor to afford anything and they act as if it's nothing. and it is, for them. I'm an artist and I get so jealous when other people have better art. I also get really jealous when people with obviously low quality art get so many views/likes/whatever. I would like that kind of recognition.. I get jealous of my online friends. They have many good friends and loving partners and are just generally happy. Meanwhile I can't get over myself and just be happy for them. Everyone's living their best life while I'm just struggling over here. I know I'm being selfish and self-centered but it still hurts. I don't want to be jealous, it makes me feel worthless and selfish and I am. But that feeling of envy never goes away..

with the fact that your life will
never be as easy, comfortable or fun or successful
as everyone else

ReplyHey there! Coming from a low income family as well! And also the lowest one in income from my 2 best friends, whenever we would go out, I mean in high school we were all kinda broke because we didn’t have jobs. But then in college they had their jobs and I had my part time job and went to college so because of college stuff and books I was still broke! But guess what ? Whenever I couldn’t go out because I didn’t have money my friends would understand ❤️ And I loved that, sometimes they would even offer to pay for me, they just wanted to see me! Now I’m a bit older I have managed to get more hours at work and I’ve learned to save up ! Which is something you should do as well if you’re at an age where you’re able to work now. Then it gets better because you’ll become more independent. I don’t think you should worry about other people’s art, focus on your art! And then when you give it your all it will receive recognition when you least expect it. Keep doing it, keep working hard, because we are born poor but it’s up to us to change that. It’s up to us to say hey ! I’ll work hard to CHaNGe that. I will no longer be poor and be successful. Good luck !
