Don’t sweat the small stuff… and it’s all small stuff

When I get really upset over something, whatever it may be, I remind myself that the world is a huge place. I know everyone knows the world is a big place  but taking the time out to really think about it puts me at ease. It really puts a situation into perspective. For example, lately I have been really upset over this boy. I won’t go into details out of respect for this guy but basically, the aftermath of the situation with this boy has caused me, for the last couple of weeks, to be a complete hot mess. It took me awhile to stop wallowing in self pity but once I finally did I thought about just how big the world is. It made me feel silly for wasting so much time being emo. There are 6.76 billion people living on earth. 6.76 BILLION. 6.76 billions of other fishes out there. Growing up I always believed that there was only one person for everyone but now that I am older I realized that that is just not possible. There are too many people out there (people you have not and will never meet) for that belief to be true. How many times have you dated someone and thought they could be the one and end up breaking up with them? Probably at least one or two depending on how many people you have dated. Okay, I feel like I’m starting to rant so I’m going to stop. But to get to the point, next time you are upset over something (it does not have to be over a guy or a girl) think about just how big the world is. Think of all the 6.76 billion other people out there. 6.76 billion people with individual lives and problems, jobs, dreams, families, minds, etc etc the list could go on forever. Just think about them and think about your situation and hopefully it will put you at ease.
