Being jealous Quote by Eugene Nathaniel Butler
“There will be people who will line up to put Your in your place, while others will pole vault over each other to knock You off your pedestal. People out there, some may be friends, while others family, will be dying to pull You down. If they only realized that while they were obsessed with You, you quietly moved to first place. If they would understand they could find a pedestal of their own, if they didnt spend so much time wanting yours. If they only knew trying to pull you down wont help them find the stairs to move up. You can either get weighed down by jealous cake and drunk off a hater-ation cocktail, or you can let go, move on, and rise.”
