How to navigate friendship after competing for the same opportunity

My best friend and I both applied for the same dream job and she got it, and now there's this weird tension where we're both pretending everything is normal but I feel jealous and she feels guilty and neither of us knows how to be honest about it.

What we've seen

Success and disappointment between intimates creates a space where celebration and grief must somehow coexist, and neither person knows how to hold both at once.
