privileged
So many people in the world are so lucky.
Shit. Compared to so many I am a lucky one.
I have a great momma, a strong suga momma, a lady who watches me like a momma, and a band daddy. along with the grace of having to know so many great people and having a little sister I love as well as 2 sisters that I adore. Other people never have the privilege to know family like I have within these past few years. No it was not my whole life, but the short amount I have experienced is much more than anyone else probably could. For this I am a lucky one. I am rich in love and that will by far be greater than anything money will give me.
I heard today from a guy I know complaining about where his life has gone. 23 and still a server, not in school anymore. He talked of his past and where he was a few years back. started college with $1000 and a job and a promising life before he threw it away. He ended his story with "If there is a God, then I'll be fucking pissed".
Such anger and rage coursed through my body. You're mad at God that you fucked up your own life??? How dare you?! People have to die EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. because they don't have clean water, good food to eat, CHILDREN. die. everyday. I'm not even going to talk about the struggles I go through by being in college. I sound pitiful compared to stories I know. All I could think about were the Andersons and what they go through. What their sons go through. They never have hated God so much as this guy does and half of it is not something caused by them.
How. dare he. blame someone [even if he doesn't believe in him] for HIS mistakes that was brought on by HIMSELF.
Then I was reminded by all the blessings I had. My good with the bad. and All I can do is be thankful that I went through that rage to figure out during my stressful time what I did have and how great it was.
Your turn.
