If you have nothing nice to say, keep your mouth shut.
Hi loves!
I had a post up the other day and if you read it, sorry. If you didn't, good. To quickly summarize, I was stressed out about school and wrote a blog post making my afternoon seem like crap. I have since taken the post down. I just want to put it out there that everyone is going to have a bad day or a bad few moments, especially us college students, but please think about what you are saying before you put it up for the world to see. Being overdramatic can really hurt someone and in the end make the whole situation so much worse.
I just want to clear things up for anyone that does not know me or does and read that post the other day:
I have such an amazing life. I am privileged and "spoiled" (for lack of a better word) and I am not ashamed to have that life. I have been lucky enough to have parents that provide for me and more. Some of my friends are stressing over being in school on top having 2-3 jobs, taking care of a child, or actually being broke. If I have ever said I am broke, it was usually because I spent all the money my parents gave me too quickly on stuff I didn't actually need. But, I always knew they would be a phone call away to give me more. You might think that is not a good way to raise your child, but why the hell not? If you can make certain that your child never worries about food, rent or tuition, even spending money, wouldn't you? Now I do have a lot of friends that struggle on a day to day basis and sometimes it is hard seeing that unfold. I have caught myself pretending to not be so privilege solely because people sometimes look at you differently if "you aren't struggling." That was so wrong of me to do but it has happened. Anyone close to me knows how good I have it but also know that my parents raised me to not be a spoiled brat. Just because I always have money in my account, didn't have to take out student loans, and don't have to have a job on top of my school work, doesn't make me a spoiled brat. I have grown up with many younger siblings and a big family, always making sure to keep my head high. I respect my elders and the people around me no matter what. I don't ask for money all the time because I want to deal with it on my own. If I poorly budget my money for the week, then that is on me and I will deal with it. However, if I truly need more, my parents will put it in, no questions asked.
If you are struggling, living pay check to pay check, you are right, I have no idea how that feels and probably never will. But I do know that you will make it through and look back on your life, knowing the struggles only make you a stronger person.
If you are not struggling because your parents pay for everything, DO NOT feel ashamed of that. There have been many times when people have looked down at me because I couldn't feel how they felt. Well just know that they are either envious or jealous and there is no reason to feel bad about having a good life. Because having this life has kept you from struggling when you didn't need to be struggling.
