Kristen, prompted

January 20, 2020

Who do you envy?

Oh boy. This is hard to answer, partially because I know I am not supposed to envy anyone else.

But of course, like everyone else on the planet, I am not immune to envy.

I don’t know, though, that I envy any one person in particular. I’m more prone to envying certain aspects of other people’s lives.

This is particularly true if one area of my life is a veritable dumpster fire at the moment and I see that same area of someone else’s life going well (or at least, it appears to be going well.)

I sometimes envy aspects of other people’s personalities as well. For instance, I sometimes wish that I did not think so hard about what other people think and feel, and I envy the way that some people seem so free of that concern.

I know this aspect of my personality comes with an upside (that I can be thoughtful and sensitive about other people’s thoughts and feelings) but sometimes I wish I could keep the upside without the downside.

What kind of things do you envy?

What’s Kristen Prompted?

It’s me, writing from a list of daily prompts!

Although I always have a lot going on in my head, those thoughts can tend to stay cooped up in my brain.

But when I’m asked what I think about something, then I feel like I have permission to let some of my thoughts out.

So, this blog is a collection of daily essays, written because the list of daily prompts gave me permission to type. 😉

My main blog is The Frugal Girl, if you’d like to read more of my words!
