5/31/2020 0 Comments My Struggles as of LateSo, I’ve really been struggling with some things lately. Things I know I shouldn't struggle with, but I do, and these two things are intertwined. First, celebrating the good in other people’s lives. So, this started out as just a struggle that related strictly to me, in that I felt worthless because no one ever celebrates the good in my life. My birthday means nothing to my family, and I've never had friends to celebrate it with, so my birthday makes me feel worthless. My birthday has been spent going to weddings, babysitting, visiting potential members of our church at the time, celebrating my aunt & uncle having their first child, etc. My birthday isn't anything special, just about everything takes precedence over it. How about when I graduated from high school? Well, first, there was no party, but that was fine with me as I was already leaning towards not having one anyway, so cool there. Instead we had a dinner with both sets of grandparents, which I was fine with. But, how did my parents ruin it? Well, they asked me where I wanted to go eat. I cng hose the local Chinese buffet. My parents said "no," and gave reasons, and while I was quite disappointed, I recommended a few other Chinese restaurants. Then, my parents said, "we don't feel like eating Chinese, we want burgers, how about Five Guys & Fries?" Well, at that time, I had never been to Five Guys. I didn't want to risk eating somewhere I might not like on my special night and not only that, eat something I didn't want. After a few hours, I convinced my parents to go to Culver's instead. I'm still bitter about that.
