lucky
Sometimes I forget that there are people who have it so much worse. And I hate that because it makes me feel like what is going on doesn't matter (it usually doesn't) and realizing that I have it good is usually what helps me to get over something shitty. So thank you facebook and Mandy Whitbread for being that spot for me today. I've been to ashamed to asked what it is that's going on with you, I'm assuming cancer because I can see your photos and what people post on your wall and it looks bad, whatever it is. But you keep smiling, and pushing through, and though I haven't seen you or really talked to you in years, that doesn't surprise me in the least, it is who you are, to be a fighter.
When the little things in life are getting me down I try to be humble and remember that there is a whole world out there that is less fortunate than I am. I have (almost) everything I could ever ask for, and even the thing I don't have (a job) isn't that big of a deal. I'll figure something out and the man I love will take care of me until I do. I have a wonderful man to marry, a fabulous family to join, awesome family and friends of my own, good health and a positive attitude. I am not hungry, or on the streets, I am well educated and my main worry today was if I could get a space in a class I wanted as a gift. In the grand scheme of the world, that is nothing, not even a blip on the radar and to waste my time stressing over it is a waste of energy. I should be spending my free time (looking for jobs) but also, volunteering someplace where the people have bigger problems like what to eat or where to live, or how to stop destructive behaviors.
It was our 1 year anniversary today, and I have never been more certain that this is the man for me. I can't wait to marry him, and though we have some issues and it's not easy every day, loving him always comes easy. I cannot wait to spend my life with him and support him as he figures out his dreams.
I am so incredibly lucky. Thank you, God, and help those who are less fortunate than I am, starting with Ms. Mandy Whitbread, please watch over her and help her get better.
