Jealousy by Anne Lamott

“Jealousy is one of the occupational hazards of being a writer, and the most degrading.  And I, who have been the Leona Helmsley of jealousy, have come to believe that the only things that help ease or transform it are (a) getting older, (b) talking about it until the fever breaks, and (c) using it as material.  Also, someone somewhere along the line is going to be able to make you start laughing about it, and then you will be on your way home.”
