Ive been doing some thinking. I used to get discouraged and upset even envious when i saw kids my age that got handed things. I have literally worked for everything i have and the where i am. at 19 i have faced things some people will not experience in their entire lives and i used to think it was so unfair that i would work 40 hours a week to make rent while kids younger than me are getting free housing, free cars, going to shcool full time, and enjoying their youth. i realized, however, that i feel sad for these people because when somebody is just handed something its taking away from them more than its giving them. ya maybe i work my ass off and am drained and stressed and exhausted but ive learned things these kids cant even begin to fathom. one day i will have what they have but ill have truly earned it and gained experiences and life lessons and it will mean so much.It make take me longer, but i will be growing where they will be crippled. as of today these people no longer make me envious. these people make me sad.
