People

Maybe I'm just more sensitive to this right now. But the past couple of days I get this overwhelming feeling that people really just don't give a shit about other people. This is a bit ironic because in a way I'm not giving a shit, but that doesn't make any sense to you yet because I haven't made that point. So I broke my ribs yesterday, they aren't exactly sure how many of to what extent. The X-Rays didn't show the cartilage which is what said I broke. Now I keep finding myself in these conversations with people where they just want to complain about their life, or how they have this to do or that and life is so hard. And all I can think about is this stabbing pain in my chest that the percesets have dulled down so it's more like and old stab wound rather than a fresh oozing one. In this moment I wish for other people to have the clarity of mind to realize how amazing their life really is. The fact that they even have a gym membership to complain about, or friends that get lost is a good place to be in. Their are a lot worse places to be. So if you read this and you are someone who complains a lot (as we all are at times) it might be worth it to get a little perspective by comparing the lows in your life to the lows in the people around you, then broaden your search and compare your lows to those of people around the world.

I'm going to put my soapbox away now. Thanks for reading.
