Yeah I'm stressed about finding a job still! But when I'd get really stressed in school and start hating life, I'd think about how grateful I should be to even be alive.
A few weeks ago, my mom saw this report about this family that scrapes by on just the father's low hourly wage... that the kids get free lunches because of their financial situation and how the boy would bring home a bag of chips (probably one of those little ones) and try to make it last the whole day. My mom was telling me about it and she was crying because it's so sad. She's like we take so much for granted, like he has to make that little bag of chips last the whole day and we don't even give a second thought to buying 4 huge bags of chips at once at the supermarket. My dad goes to my mom, see, you get so stressed out about your job, you have to realize that's so small, a lot of people are worse off than you.
Okay, just went off on a tangent, but it related to stressing. So when I stress out I just think to myself that things could be a whole lot worse, it usually helps me.
