I try to be aware of and appreciative of the ridiculous level of privilege I have. But sometimes I just get hung up on the smallest things. Last night I wanted some water. There I was in bed, and not 20' away, I had a tap in the wall with clean, fresh, delicious water always available to me. I'm on the third floor--which keeps me safe from flooding, mud, most vermin, and casual n'er-do-wells--and I have fresh running water at my ready disposal whenever I want it, in pretty much any temperature I want.
Sometimes, honestly, I just can't get over that.
We say all the time how awesome "living in the future" is, but clean running water has been around--for some people--for a pretty long time now. And seriously, it's pretty freakin' awesome.
