Jealous

Jealous is an immature emotion and refers to negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, such as a relationship, friendship, or love.

I was a kid when I felt this primary emotion. Thriving and competing with our grandmother’s attention. Grandmother’s love is intoxicating with all the concentrated attention of care.  She buys everything that we wanted, spoiling us that even the impossible things that we thrive to acquire, she gave it all. Actually, the competition began when my brother was born. I am envious competing with my brother because of his feebleness that makes him more vulnerable to almost everything.

He was born with poor eyesight, his eyeballs are irregularly shaped like an egg, thus reading and seeing clearly makes it very difficult for him. Every time he eats, our grandmother debones the meat. Every time we go to church or any event, my brother was always on her side, clutching him like a baby. The attention already focused on him and mine to minimal.

Do you want to spend time with people that really matter?
