1.) Making Peace With Envy

by LittleBirdWitch

You like her because she's confident. You love me because I'm smart and kind. Her confidence is flirty and self deprecating. It's not her fault. It's not your fault. My confidence is sarcastic, and witty, and viciously venomous. You wouldn't like me if I were confident, I guarantee that. But kindness and intelligence and beauty Do nothing against the allure of confidence. It's no one's fault but mine.
