What all is happening right now? Well, aside from typing on my phone and listening to Relient K, I'm wondering how I can differentiate my blog post from everyone else's. All of the others made me think about all of the countless things occurring right as I'm typing on this post. I kind of feel obligated to say something about seizing the day and recognizing the good that's going on the world and in our lives, but that doesn't really feel right to me. I think what's really getting me is that so many people say that they feel guilty for being upset about problems that they have while others are suffering around the world. I do this a lot, and I know that other people do too. And that really bothers me.
I don't know if this makes sense. What I'm trying to say is that if someone has a problem that feels big to them but might seem petty to someone else, that's OKAY. If a problem feels big to someone, it's okay to acknowledge that. Right now, trillions of things are happening, and if I, for example, have a problem, that's just it. I have a problem. And maybe it wouldn't seem like anything to someone else, but it's mine to deal with, and being upset about it is more than okay.
This really turned into some sort of sermon, didn't it? I don't even know who I'm talking to. Maybe it's myself. Either way, right now, right this second, there are brilliant and beautiful things happening, and there are terrible things happening too. I guess it's up to us to accept it all.
