As one 31-year-old to another 31-year-old, I hear you! Totally agree about the jealousy thing, I felt it literally last week whilst at one of my best friend's stag do... showing me pictures of his lovely new 2-bed house with a garden. I'm so happy for him and his wife, but another part of me was slightly triggered simply because I want what he has. I can't stop those thoughts from coming in, but I can see them for what they are, hold them lightly and let them go.

Yeah it's so tough to not compare! I guess maturity (i hope) really is being able to see our thoughts for what they are and letting go.
