vulnerability with no excuse

When i look at the hard times in my life, i remember how absolutely difficult they were. and how awful i felt during them. i felt hopeless and worthless all bundled up into one. but, i almost always begin to think of others. i think of all the crazy and horrible things they have been through. almost all of which i have never experienced, and might never experience. it makes me feel ridiculous. it makes me feel like i have no reason to be upset when my life is "difficult". but, again, i dont know what is going to happen, nobody does. and so anything bad could, but hopefully it wont.
Although everyone has been through different experiences in their lives, and felt certain specific ways in each of them, we cant constantly compare them with others. they are very different, but a hard time for someone is a hard time, even if the differences between them are vast.

no matter what has happened to anyone,
life is able to be enjoyed.
there are always things to love about it. always.

whoever you are and whatever happens.


much love,
