When you feel like you have problems in your life, remember me. Think about me, an internet stranger, and feel grateful that at least your life isn't this bad. I promise you, however bad you think your life is, I can top it.
I'm that person your mother warned you about when she said, "Be thankful for what you have, there are people out there suffering more than you."
Remember Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs? I have almost none of this. I have water and air. No sleep. No food that doesn't hurt my body. No security or safety. No friends.
It's a wonder that I'm alive at all right now.
