YOU'RE YOUNG,
YOU'RE SAFE,
YOU'RE ALIVE.
You're lucky.
For the love of
God, stop
whinging about how your parents don't let you do
stuff, how that guy doesn't like you back, the amount
of homework you have, the petty problems that
aren't going to matter in a year's
time. People died today - not just in
Boston, but in Venezuela, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia,
Pakistan, Yemen and in other places that haven't been
reported. There are problems in this world that
you will never know first hand, and you are
so, so lucky for that. There's a girl your
age somewhere in the world who has spent her life worrying
about whether or not she's going to get blown up or
shot simply walking down the street, who could be
killed for falling for the 'wrong' guy,
for disobeying her parents, for daring to want an
education.

but... it doesn't mean my problems don't matter too..
it still hurts..
"telling someone to be happy because people have it worse than them is like telling someone to be sad because people have it better than them."
