Sometimes its easy to forget that different types of people exist all over the world. When I get so caught up in my own shit, I lose track of the bigger picture. That this isn’t how things are going to be forever, and most certainly there are people out there who have their own shit to deal with, completely seperate than my own.

This isn’t one of those “never complain about your problems, because 90% of the world has it a lot worse than you” Which, sure, I guess is true and important to figure in to things, but I’d rather spread out experiences onto a horizontal surface rather than all being on the wheel of fortune- some on top, some on bottom. Or like we’re all climbing a mountain. No, to me what’s most interesting about remembering that other people live differently than myself is an exciting revelation. When I get too engrossed and bogged down with how much MY life sucks, all I have to do is to stop for a second, and look around me. Everyone that walks by is in a world entirely seperate from mine. By observing them, in the most non stalker way possible, I get a glimpse into what it’s like to live in their world. When I return to my world, things seem a whole lot easier to handle.

I can also immagine how those people would react to my world. By visualizing different scenarios, and comparing them to my own take, I expand the possibilites. With the numerous outcomes I could have, things seem less claustrophobic.

Or I just turn on the TV and watch sitcoms till my eyes glaze over. Either way works. :P
