People make mistakes. My mom "organises" things and then forgets where she put them. My foreign friend is convinced Alexander isn't my real name so I am fated with the horrible nickname "Lewis". I leave the seat up when I take a piss so women will always hate me, and yes, the Americans STILL can't spell "colour".

Yeah, that's life. We make mistakes, so what? No one is perfect, and no one has the perfect life. No one has EVERYTHING go their way or life wouldn't be worth living, because you'd always win. Some people don't see it that way.

Why do so many people feel that their lives are so unbearable? Why is it that because one little thing in your life went wrong that the rest of your life is no longer worth living. A girlfriend who screwed you over is not worth taking your life. "Haha that'll show them!"
Um no, not really. If they didn't care about you enough to stay with you, they aren't going to care when you take your life, so you're the one who loses, not them.

Wake up people, we live like monarchs compared to most people in this world. We live in a friggin' World Class country called Canada (or Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, or America for my worldly friends). We have free health care, we have massive houses, cars, video games, computers, food! Yeah I said it, food. The stuff that you shove into your mouth every day that we all take for granted.

Now while many people are busy moaning about how that broken nail has ruined their life forever, I'm sure my friend !xzbelai in Africa would like a slice of bread so he can live for another weak (yes that is an actual name). I'm sure the children in Iraq who are having their whole lives torn apart wouldn't mind that broken nail.

Here's the thing I don't get at all. We have EVERYTHING, and yet we have so little faith in society and ourselves. Meanwhile the people who eat the scraps on the other side of the world are always faithful that one day life will be bearable, even if they have to live on tree bark for now. Think about that next time you break that precious nail.
