Yes, life IS tough. You lose your most precious loved ones. People out there are born with disabilities and are forced to cope with them. There are others sacrificing their lives so our freedom can be retained. There are lots more who live in poverty, homeless without electricity or water.

So stop complaining about your petty things.
Open your eyes and see the bigger picture, the picture that doesn't have you as its center.

There are LOTS of people that have lives WAY more difficult than yours.





Their passing days are a constant struggle.
So count your blessings and be grateful for what you have, because as soon as you lose it, you'll regret not realizing its worth much much sooner.
