And there was a lot of different acronyms that I had to look up around TTC, but that was definitely one of them.

So the question we got is, I'm TTC and three family members are pregnant.

I am sad slash jelly, but feel guilty for feeling that way.

So, OK, this is what I'm going to say is very simple for me to say.

It's harder to digest and feel because I know these feelings can be really big.

But I think this is a place where two things can be totally true at the same time, period.

Just because you are jealous of something or envy something doesn't mean that you aren't or can't be happy for them at the same time.

So guilty says when we're feeling guilty, it's saying that we're doing something wrong.

I would say you're not doing anything wrong here.

You can be very excited for your family and a big part of you can feel guilty.

very jealous, which just means they have something that you want.

It doesn't mean you're resenting them.

It doesn't mean that you're wishing bad things on them.

It just means it's hard for you to sit there sometimes and put a smile on your face.

It doesn't mean that you don't want to, you know?

So, I mean, I'm sure you felt this.

I felt this.

Of course, I'm happy when good things happen to people I love.

And, of course, at the same time, I'm like, well, why couldn't this be me?

You know?
