Thanks, skittles. Your post was really helpful. I totally know you didn't hijack the thread -- it totally helps to hear the things you have and that life is still hard and painful and imperfect.I do know that nobody's life is perfect. It's just that I imagine that people are so much happier than me: with nicer homes, families, relationships, and stuff. I know the stuff part is weird but that's what I focus on. Also, order and cleanliness. And landlords that don't suck. (I'm having issues right now.)
The worst part for me is not really the stuff I lack but the fact that the little things (like jerky landlords) make me soooo crazy. That's what I really *should* be envious of: people's ability to let things slide off their backs. But I envy their carpets and artwork and furniture and neatness and space. What's up with that?
(These are basically rhetorical questions, although any thoughts are always appreciated.)
