Today, I looked up my childhood bully on Facebook, hoping she'd gone fat and ugly. Turns out she's drop-dead gorgeous and very successful. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I stumbled across my school bully on Facebook. She's a successful business owner and engaged to be married. I can't land a job and am hopelessly single. The b***h that served as the catalyst for my depression and suffered no repercussions is getting married on my birthday. FML
Today, I saw a friend from college, who I'd cut ties with after her much older boyfriend convinced her to drop out of college and marry him. She looks amazing and has two beautiful kids, while I'm a struggling obese single mom. She said, "The hoe phase really worked out for you, I see." FML
Today, I went to the store and ran into an old friend that I hadn't seen in years. We chatted a little, and just as I was leaving he grabbed his mobile phone. Later, I added him on Facebook. Turns out the last thing he posted was a picture of my back saying: "Look who got even fatter." FML
Today, I got reached out to by an old flame who, in her words, “wants to fuck the life out of me again.” We’re both engaged to new people and have kids. The hardest part? She looks even better now than ever, and I’m a fat hairy slob. FML
Today, I got a Facebook friend request from an ex-schoolmate from my high school. He was the same piece of shit who used to bully me at the time. He's now a psychologist. I guess my life was meant to be bollocks. FML
Today, my coworker asked me to add her on Facebook. She has a common name, so I picked the one I thought was her. After no response for a while, I asked for the right spelling. She saw the one I thought was her and said, “I can’t believe you thought I was that ugly.” She wasn't joking. FML
Today, being a big believer in karma, I found it fitting that a girl that was always a bitch to me in high school is now fat and ugly. After sending one of her recent pictures with a mean caption to a few of my friends, I tripped and sprained my wrist falling up the stairs. Karma. FML
Today, my former high school bully became my manager. FML
Today, I pulled up my ex's socials so my girls and I could laugh at the gross fat chick he's dating now. I ended up crying because he looks so much happier with her than he was with me. FML
Today, my ex-best friend, who I haven't spoken to in a year because of how obsessive she got, posted a picture of herself with dyed brown hair and glasses. We look like twins. Even I thought it was me. Some people are commenting that I look beautiful. School starts tomorrow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

FYL because you're still wasting time thinking about the past instead of moving on.

It was the OP's childhood bully. I'm sure she's grown up since then.

Accidentally pressed YDI you don't deserve it. Sorry, sometimes reality is cruel to us

just because shes beautiful and success doesn't mean she doesn't have anything shitty going on her life

YDI for caring.

You completely deserve it for wishing ill on someone you no longer even know. For all you know, she's made up for her youthful transgressions ten times over. Nobody wears envy well, OP. Living a good life is the best revenge; well, that and vandalism.

You never know. She could be miserable deep down inside.

The best revenge you can get is to be happy and successful yourself. And if you were, you probably wouldn't have bothered to look her up.

I've found that everyone seems successful on Facebook. No matter how crappy their lives are. Also, no one it dumb enough to post ugly pictures of themselves on Facebook on purpose. She's probably as miserable as the rest of us. :)

Wish Ill on someone doesn't make you much better than they are

I'm sure her life sucks somehow. Or it did, or it will. Unless, of course, she saw the error of her ways and reformed after you knew her and her beauty and success are repayment for that. Which doesn't do much for you, but if that happened, it might be comfortable. Anyway, as someone who was either ignored or mocked in high school and hopes to become a gorgeous, successful author as payback, I give you this advice: Don't worry about her. Just worry about being gorgeous and successful yourself. Living well is the best revenge.

That's not how things work. Being a bully as a child doesn't mean they'll grow up to be miserable. And getting bullied doesn't guarantee you success in the future.
