Life is actually pretty amazing

Sitting on my swivel chair, with my feet raised on another chair, with a light over my head and an itouch I am now using as both a dictionary and a music source, made me appreciate the amazingness of life.

One too many times, I've complained about how life seems so unfair and complicated.. And how I feel like I am not getting what I deserve.. But today, a moment of little epiphany came to me that no matter how bad I think my life is, someone will always have it worse. I do not think this to console myself but to actually remind myself that there are so many things we should be thankful for.. But most often than not, we overlook and take advantage of these things.. And little do we realize that almost half of the children of the world don't even have slippers to keep their feet comfortable and away from the scorching heat of the pavement or the infectious bacteria of the ground.. Almost half of the children of the world don't even get to eat even one balanced meal a day.. Somewhere, in some other part of the world, a person your age isn't studying but is working to be able to feed their siblings and parents and the stray dog they adopted the other day.. Somewhere, children are dying because they do not have access to health care or they don't have a sturdy roof over their heads to keep them safe and warm..

While you, sit on your cozy couch and whine in your most appalled voice how the world is so unfair.. And how your parents are depriving you of your ever so luxuries whims.. While you prefer not to eat your veggies and choose the bad stuff instead.. Seriously, life is unfair to you?

Okay, maybe life is unfair.. But if it's any consolation, my dear, it is unfair to all.. So it makes it quite fair actually.. :)

I know it's hard but in time when you feel like life is unfair, just look around you and re evaluate the life you are living and appreciate that life is actually pretty amazing.. That you can wake up to skies that are perfectly painted.. That you get to kiss your parents goodnight.. That you can actually go to school and learn things others can only dream of..

The next time it feels like life is unfair, look at your toes and thank God they're still complete :) look up and be thankful that your house still has a roof..

Life is beautiful you see.. And so are you and the experiences it will throw you.. All the more the lessons.. If you allow it to.. :)

Common, cheer up and give life a smile :)

It is worthwhile,
