If helps, try to remember that just because someone else does or gets something good, doesn't take away from what you have or can have. There isn't a limited amount of good stuff in the world...so she didn't get your "share" of luck. And it doesn't make you look bad, just because she looks good. You can't compare two lives, you have no idea what her own inner tormoil might be.
She might be thinking, "Oh God, I sold my soul and now have to work for the FBI and all I ever wanted to do was work in a lab and find a cure for cancer..."
What we value in this country is really screwed up. I know, I work with kids. Unfortunately:
You don't get a degree for being a good person. You don't get one for being strong enough to ask for help.
You don't get one for having a sense of humor, even about yourself.
You don't get one for helping so many people here.But you should!
Soooo...I'm conveying on you the first ever (I think) Babble PhD -- Positive Help Doctorate, that is -- and you should be as proud of this as anything you have ever earned.
I believe this degree will make your life richer in far more ways than you can dream now.
