(no subject)
I guess I sort of started on a process of learning something today... just about people and about perspective and about listening and about differences.
I think that people have a right to get frustrated or get upset in whatever position they're in. I always used to hate it when my mother would say things like "at least you have food to eat... at least you have a house... a least you're alive". And it is SO TRUE. I am not questioning that we all need to have our times of being grateful for the blessings we've been given (goodness knows mine are countless, and I thank God every day). But keeping that in mind, sometimes I know that I (and so I'm assuming others as well) get fed up with not being able to have a bad day or be unhappy with something!
Maybe it's just me particularly, but PLEASE correct me if you know what I'm talking about here... just because some things I have or do or whatever may be good, I am somehow not allowed to complain anymore to ANYONE it seems, and that is something that I think everyone needs to be able to do occasionally. Is anyone still following me? PLEASE COMMENT OR SOMETHING!
It's like - I can't complain about ANYTHING going wrong or getting frustrating with Kenny because people just say "oh you're lucky you have him at all, you're lucky you have someone, everyone wants that.." even to something like "Oh shut up you guys are perfect!". Okay, I know I am INCREDIBLY lucky.. but we aren't perfect. Just because I am very blessed... why can I not vent to anybody when something is on my mind? Nobody's life is perfect!
I can't complain about grades or tests or classes either now. Because "i'm so smart... i get such good grades... " or whatever. But that doesn't mean that I don't have a hard time or that I don't get upset over the principle of getting a grade that doesn't make me happy...
I guess the point is this:
I know that I am very lucky, and I think most people do know that.
However, I'm human, and my life isn't perfect.
I just wish I felt like I was ALLOWED to get frustrated sometime, and not feel stupid, self-centered, and ungrateful. Does that make any sense??
*unfortunately, i've experienced that most people don't think this way. So I think that it's about time that I start keeping my mouth shut - I think all of this is even starting to hurt and bother the people who listen and act like they understand... so no more talking for now, I'll just keep it to myself*
