My current experience couldn’t even be termed a struggle compared to what others are going through. I often feel that I should just suck it up when I’m having a hard day and push myself through it. But my reality is, I am still having a hard day. We must stop comparing our struggles to the struggles of others for there is no clarity in comparison. My point is simply this; I’m allowed to experience the feelings and struggles associated with my current life circumstances, and so are you. Never minimize your feelings and needs, even if someone else’s is far more tragic.
