I'm really hurting for money right now. I mean, I have a home and a car, but it's to the point now that I don't have money for the "fun stuff", and barely enough for a two week supply of food and gas. This is really hard.
I do realize that my situation is very miniscule compared to the situation of someone with a life threatening disease or someone who has lost their home to a natural disaster, etc. so I find that no matter how bad this feels right now, I need to be thankful because someone out there is very worse off than I am. It almost makes me feel silly. I mean, I know the gas and food thing is a real concern, but I know that if I spent it only on that I would be fine. Really, I could be. It wouldn't be fun, I'd be at home all the time and never really see my friends, but still, I'm not going to starve, and I have a little money in the bank. So really, I have no right to complain. There is a child sitting in some hospital bed right now dying. And her parents have ridiculous bills paying for her treatments while they try to hold onto some hope of a miracle that isn't going to come. And here I sit, upset because I don't have enough money to go to the movies. Seriously, what kind of person would I be if I really let myself get bent out of shape about this? This is crazy.
And on top of everything I have the most wonderful friends, supportive, loving boyfriend, and faithful family a girl could ask for! Not too mention a dose of maturity some people will never see... not to brag or anything. I just realize that if this was a few years ago this blog would have a very different tone. And for that maturity that causes me to really see reality as it is, I am very thankful.
I feel so much better now. :)
