Yes, well.

Do you ever get that feeling that you're not meant for the space you occupy? Who you're with, where you are, it's just not right? You're not alone, millions feel that way constantly and others at certain times. The latter is what most of us deal with.

We find that moment in our life, when an event happens and it changes us - we feel something, something strong and negative. I don't harbour any false ideas that my life or experience is in any way comparable to someone living in extreme circumstances, such as children living in war torn countries, or face political or religious persecution. I can never begin to even think of how they deal with what they have to face or compare what has happened to me with them. This is something we must come to realise, but at the same time not feel guilty or ashamed for feeling depressed at ultimately superficial problems.

If you lose someone you cared for, whether through death or a relationship collapse, it's natural for you to feel upset. This is normal, and she never be seen as something you should "suck up". We're meant to feel strong feelings of emotion towards something important to us. It's human nature.

We can't compare ourselves to those in a worse situation, but we should appreciate just how awful another's struggle is, and come to the realisation that not everything we complain about is as bad as we think.

I believe this post changed directions mid-way (lol, closed down), not really covering either point that well. Ah well.

Well, that was inconsistent. I think that's a new catch phrase right there.
