Ouch.

Sometimes it sucks to see other people have it easy, have things fall into their hands. Sometimes it hurts to know you could have it too, if only you had put in the effort, made that extra push. Sometimes it wounds to know, to see, other people out there living your dream. Sometimes it smacks you right across the face and tells you to Get. On. With. It. Every new bestseller, every new publication, every new book signing, every knew random post about the latest amazing book some one has read--these things make me squirm.
