Jealousy is a strange thing. Especially when it comes from someone who is supposed to be a friend.
For the past year or so, as I have written, I have reconnected with a number of friends with whom I had lost contact. It has been a wild, wonderful, smile inducing, sometimes bittersweet, ALWAYS heart brimming ride.
Well, I guess not everyone has thought so...
Seems a friend, a work friend, is going out of her way to drive home to me in sometimes not so subtly couched comments and postings that she is not 'chasing her past', that she's happy and that her husband and daughters are her future and she doesn't need to look backward. Hmmm...methinks she doth protest too much...
Not quite sure what to do...how to respond...if to acknowledge. Probably won't. That's the point, isn't it? To make me feel small for what is currently lovely for me? To get a response out of me? Maybe even to make me feel bad...like she must certainly feel deep down inside because why would anyone chide someone for feeling loved and special and happy?
I just don't get it.
Just jealousy, I guess.
I'll take the high road. Just smile and be happy and take that road less traveled.
