Dear Cali Chica:

I figure the “constant focus on the lives of others” is a way for you to escape your experience of your own life, the allegedly inferior life. Similar to people day dreaming/ fantasizing on the lives of the rich-and-famous so to escape their mundane lives.

Problem is that their lives is allegedly superior and yours is.. well, you are not seeing it accurately just as you don’t see others’ lives accurately. The glitter of  that friend you had (past tense?), remember the glitter- you see glitter in others’ lives, like that couple  on their way to Florida.
