Does anybody else struggle to be happy because of the statistics we were taught as children/young adults? Let me explain. Globally, 120 people die per minute. In America, every 68 seconds somebody is sexually assaulted and every 9 minutes that person is a child. In America, every 11 minutes somebody commits suicide. (These statistics are all approximated, so not 100% accurate, but pretty close) I was taught these statistics at a very young age, and sometimes I genuinely struggle to be happy because all I can think is, “why the hell am I allowed to feel happy right now when somebody just killed themself, or a child just got assaulted?” It goes hand in hand with the saying “somebody always has it worse than you” Maybe it’s just me, but this has been an issue and a giant blockade to my happiness for a while. Anybody else relate?
