I envy contentment.

I envy those who find contentment in their lives. 

I envy the ones who do not have a constant, nagging feeling to do “more”. 

I envy the ones who do not experience the cycles of existentialism. 

I envy the ones whose life contentment is achieved through simple things like shopping for a new dress, going on a trip, going to a restaurant, watching a good show on tv, etc. 

I envy the peace they must feel not overthinking and not feeling a responsibility to “make this world a better place”. 

I envy all of this because it’s the opposite of what I experience. I envy that they have arrived to the destination that feels so far away.
