Guilty

Okay, I don't feel a whole lot better than when I wrote the last entry. In a sense, I feel ridiculously worse. Sometimes my silly complaints seem so miniscule in the grand scheme of pain and suffering. So what if it was just a couple ridiculous TV shows (I hate having to admit that one of them was Extreme Makeover Home Edition--but only because Desperate Housewives wasn't on...wait a minute, that's probably worse) that made me remember this. I still remember. All in all, I have it pretty good. No major stresses in my life. I'm happy. I'm healthy. I have a family and friends. I have 10 fingers and even 10 toes. So who am I, really, to sob over people not caring as much about me as I care about them (well, I wasn't really sobbing, but there were a few teensy tears involved).

I mean, sure I do feel bad sometimes. I don't take back that I get lonely--that I have been feeling particularly lonely the past few days--but I will rethink how I go about thinking about myself and my relationships with others. It's not that bad. Sometimes it all hurts, but, relatively speaking, I should be counting my blessings because it's actually all pretty good.

Comments:
It doesn't make a lot of sense that one should be made to feel guilty for having feelings or preferences of their own. I am guilty as well but I do not think it reasonable that I should be made to feel bad for liking Desperate Housewives, for example.

It is true, we have relatively charmed lives, but how does that make it any less significant that you were/are feeling lonely, and that feeling sucked?
 
Oh, I don't know. I guess it just doesn't seem right to complain about such minor things when put into the perspective of the rest of the world. I do agree that complaining and sucky feelings have their place, but it's also just important to let those feelings pass as well.
