Jealousy always has been my cross, the weakness and woundedness in me that has most often caused me to feel ugly and unlovable, like the Bad Seed. Iβve had many years of recovery and therapy, years filled with intimate and devoted friendships, yet I still struggle. I know that when someone gets a big slice of pie, it doesnβt mean thereβs less for me. In fact, I know that there isnβt even a pie, that thereβs plenty to go around, enough food and love and air. But I donβt believe it for a second. I secretly believe thereβs a pie. I will go to my grave brandishing my fork. β¨ Anne Lamott (2008). Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith, p.86, Penguin
