Jealousy

Do you have a friend that gets everything she wants? You know the one, you love her and would probably die for her, but sometimes you look at her life and wonder how everything comes so damn easily to her?

My bestie is that girl. She's an only child so even in college I was jealous of her situation. Her parents bought her a car and footed her tuition and books. I think she had to pay her cell phone bill and that was only because her parents thought it was utterly ridiculous that 19 year old college students would need a cell phone. (I'm old ok? This was a long time ago, way way before 8 year olds had them.)

Fast forward to post college. She decided to move to Florida for a couple of years and met her wonderful, perfect husband. He's so great. He vacuums, girls. Vacuums. She got an amazing 6 figure job as a sales person in the sport she loves. They got a beautiful house, sold it, and then bought a bigger more beautiful house. Also, I should note that she is tall and beautiful and has a killer body. And last year, she found out she was accidentally pregnant. Accidentally. Like such an accident that she was actually upset that she was pregnant and it was going to change her life.

Now I love her dearly, but that was a little hard to take. She complained. A lot.

This is not to say that said bestie hasn't worked hard. She is extremely intelligent, worked very, very hard in college and went back to get her MBA. She eats healthier than any person I've ever seen and works out several times a week. She's totally great at her job and even though she was scared of her life changing, she is an excellent mother and just loves her little girl (and her husband) to pieces. So, it's not that she doesn't deserve any of these things, because she totally does.

It's just, sometimes, I wonder... how is it so easy for her? Or is it just as hard for her, but she just complains a lot less than me?
