I love this, wonderful read. Envy is a wonderful thing to consider, hey? So much there! I might be brazen enough to say that there's a healthy form of envy, so long as we don't forget our own evolution throughout our lives. Indeed, easy to get stuck reaching continuously into the past to carry forward what worked, what was, what served us in our youth, when we could be projecting ourselves into a more evolved future. I was always told to look where I was going, not where I'd beenβ€”as you say "...not through constant nitpicking and self-improvement, but to see ourselves reflected as we are..."

The theme you wrote about just rings true with me, it reminds me so much of my own envy towards other women that I deem perfect. I don't even need to comment on how perfectly you capture the emotion, because that is just in your nature! ❀️πŸͺ
