sucky!

The wise piece of insight I got today was this: Sometimes, there are things that frustrate you and that you can't do anything about and not being able to do anything about them bothers you. And that's okay.

I get it intellectually, but emotionally? I think this is a big project. To that end, here's a list of things that suck and that bum me out (not ranked, some big, some small) but that I can't do anything about:

  • globalization
  • plastic
  • climate change
  • species loss
  • homogenization of cultures
  • the patriarchy
  • racism-sexism-classism-etc
  • general jackassery
  • my friends being sad
  • the fact that days are limited to 24 hours
  • my economics class
  • the ongoing lack of teleportation
  • being overlooked or forgotten
  • people being mean
  • mangos in the US (so disappointing!)
  • traffic
  • subway delays
  • and so many more...


What about you?

Cilantro, and the way restaurants keep putting it in food I'd otherwise love.

(Yeah, that doesn't compare with most of yours, but still. Bleah.)
