Climbing with a Green Eyed Monster

Here in North Carolina the year around climbers are beginning to make their transition from bouldering season to rope season.  We begin to contemplate those first intensely terrifying leads and the falls soon to follow.  But some of us are lucky enough to complete the projects of the season.  I, unfortunately, have not been so lucky.  It seems the tick list has only gotten longer and those intermediate sends are still months away.  All the while my fellow climbers get to spray about their latest conquests on Facebook and I of course have to say something positive about it. Nothing like the short but sweet "like" button.  But do I really like it?  Fuck No.  I'm jealous as a preening peacock and I'm not sure if I'm fine with that.  It is said that once you harness the roots of jealously, you will not only be able to control the energy that you put into it but you will also be able to actually attain what you truly desire.  In the mean time I suppose I will be hitting the "like" button a few more times.
