Okay, whenever someone I know has a problem, I pretty much have the same words of wisdom:
It could be worse.
Everything happens for a reason.
The past few days I've been pretty much wrecked over a conflict with one of my friends. It's like all I've talked about. As if my life is over because someone is mad at me.
So, today I'm talking to a different friend of mine who I haven't talked to in a few weeks and the first thing he says is that his grandfather, who he visited at least twice a week and was very close to, just died. And it puts my problems into perspective. I haven't had anything seriously bad happen to me lately, and I suddenly feel like I'm being an idiot for even wasting time on my stupid crap. Honestly, my life is sucking right now. But, I mean, that's just this week. None of it is anything that's even going to affect me in six months. And all of the people I care about are safe and well. What more can you ask for?
Er . . . so I guess I'm just saying that I'm grateful for what I have that isn't going shitty.
