Jealousy of an illusion of perfection

For some of us, we struggle our whole lives while others just move along with such ease.  You might get jealous of them because everything just seems to fall into place for them and they seem perfect.  They can be smart, beautiful, athletic, and talented in so many ways, but is all smooth sailing?  No!  Don't be jealous or wish you could be them, because sometimes the people we think are living perfect lives are just the ones with the best ability to put on a smile despite their problems.  I'm not sure if it's a good or bad trait to make life look easy, but it is a daunting task that eventually catches up to you.  One morning you wake up and realize nothing is as you planned and you have no one to tell because you spent your whole life making everything look so wonderful.  If you feel a moment of bitterness or depression, people don't know how to react because you aren't supposed to struggle.  To some extent you feel that way too, because you've been smiling for so long that you don't remember what it is to accept that you are struggling or that admitt that it's even possible.  You want to be bullet proof, but what you eventually realize is that you're human and life isn't perfect no matter how you spin it.
