Isn't it a beautiful thing when you realize that your problems are actually really silly?
Looking back at high school, the things I thought were HUUUUUUGGGEEE problems actually weren't terrible in the long run. Yeah, it kind of sucked while it was happening, but I got over it every time. I moved on with my life. Sometimes, I feel like my life really sucks. Like this week, with all of my stuff due at the same time and the clock ticking away. But then, something comes along and changes my perspective on things. Yeah, I may feel like I'm dying under this workload for the week, but it's nothing compared to that boy from India who is dying from malnutrition. I may stay up really late finishing up my research for my paper, but it's nothing compared to the girl from the bush in Uganda who lies awake at night, afraid that she and her brothers and sisters will get abducted and forced to carry weapons and kill other people. Basically, what I'm saying is...even though I'm having a somewhat tough week, it could be worse, and I should take a look around and see all the good things in my life. Which is why I have this blog. :)
