I should stop being such a whiny bitch

Exonerated by DNA, but lost on the outside

After reading that whole article....

Maybe it's time I stop comparing my life to others. Maybe it's time I stop saying, "My life is worse than yours, so don't talk." Actually, I SHOULD stop complaining about my life and saying that everyone else has much better lives than me. Because... because what if everyone is just pretending that their lives are easier, by not talking about the bad parts of it? By downplaying the sad side of their life and amplifying the happy side? Just because they don't say it outright that they find that their lives suck, doesn't mean that they are okay.

I mean, seriously? :/ I guess there is someone else whose life is worse than mine, yet they forge through it bravely while I whimper like a baby and expect someone to pick up my mess. It's time I realize that I have to learn how to be independent and stand on my own. That not everything is always so bad, and that I should appreciate the good things in my life and push out the bad stuffs.

(PS: I've always wondered what kind of motivational talk can we give to those people who are really suffering? Like, those children in Africa that are dying from malnutrition. People that don't have a home because they are bankrupt without any family support because their family have abandoned them. People who were raped brutally by their blood relatives. Even the cliché statement, "There are people whose lives are worse than yours," can't really help, right? What else can you say man? :/)
