Fortunate

I am grateful I didn’t grow up in the rural countryside of China. I am grateful I didn’t have to go out into the rice fields and work. I am grateful to even have an elementary education. I am grateful for the privileges I take for granted.

But I am shameful of all the time I’ve wasted. Shameful of how sometimes I feel I’m the unluckiest person in the world. Shameful of how I complain about the imperfections in my life when many others dream to have MY life. And what breaks my heart is that we have so much yet we don’t share.
