okay, wee bit of a long post - but guys, its 2026 . . lets not be negative nancys and jerks over someone's success!
this is a reminder, stay grounded, stay on earth. Lets not let our egos get to us.
Life is
NOT a race for you or anyone to deal with people who let you down for doing something you love, whether that's trading, doing art, or anything else! As long as you're not stepping on anyone by the success- you're doing so good bestie! Keep at your pace, keep improving, even if its at the pace of a speck.
I believe that
Jealousy is
normal, its
human. But putting others down because of that? thats a big no no! ):
Its NORMAL to be jealous out of someone's success - but we don't fit in one singular mold. Delayed success is still success at the end of the day. Someone is getting more comments on their art?, more praises of improvement?, more gifts or better trades? more sales in adopts than you? someone got the job you were targeting, or the item you were hoping to buy? Great! Be happy for them, you'll get your success too bestie!
Please, PLEASE remember always. Words are powerful.
And be responsible with what you say/speak/do -
If you said/did something wrong? apologize, take accountability.
And if you can?
please watch what you say. Some words leave long lasting positive intentions or could cost trauma at the end of the day.
