First World Problems...

[kaichou]

I've been on vacation now for 3 days... since Friday, and it's been amazing so far. No major issues or concerns, no stress, no drama... just relaxation with family, which has been incredible. Yes, it hasn't exactly been the most exciting of vacations, but that's fine by me - I'm enjoying it for what it is and not what it could or should be.

That's important to keep in mind but do accept that it doesn't make your stresses any less valid; other's trials just help keep it in perspective.

indeed you are absolutely right. I don't want to make it sound that nobody's stresses are less valid since there are always someone out there suffering or dealing with more. It's more... like you said: keep it in perspective. The first thing I've noticed about myself, is that anytime something goes badly or wrongly, I lose sight of those positive things that are going on in my life. I totally understand - there'll always be a moment or two where that'll happen... where your problems become the most... all-encompassing thought or worry at the moment. It's just a matter of... basically dealing with it as best ya can and embracing the good that you have in your life again. In the end, it really isn't going to be that bad, and you've got far more good things going on than bad...
