Recently, I was bitten by the Jealousy Bug; a terrible, infectious bite that gnaws at your cool disposition until it renders you pretty much useless to do anything without spiting at all those who have more than you do. This "bite" I received was caused by being envious of someone who had everything I'm dreaming of having (kitchen/cooking-wise). They have it all; the stainless steel pots and pans, the food processor, the grand-daddy of all Kitchen Aid mixers and every hand tool that you've ever seen. And the kicker is, they don't even know how to use any of it and haven't even taken some of the things out of the packaging!
But fear not if you have been struck with the J.B. bite too before, I have found the cure! It's easy, whenever you want what others have whether it be a talent, status clothes/accessories, a car or endless kitchen tools like me, just realize how you can do without. Having those things doesn't make anyone a better person or have more passion than someone who doesn't. It's just the same as my boyfriend Ben says about writing: "We should interpret and perform for ourselves...We should not deny ourselves."
And what that means pretty much is that we should not be held back by thinking we don't have the tools to do something, whether they are physical tools or tools of education, but as long is the passion to pursue our dreams is there, that's all that really matters.
Remember where your heart is and never hold back, it will lead you to great places. <3
