Most of all, I am sick of being told that expressing my feelings means that I am being ungrateful. I am sick of feeling guilty that I am not 100% happy with my circumstances. Sure, gratitude isn’t always a bad thing, it does help to remember the things that we do have. However that gratitude shouldn’t be used to make someone feel guilty, that their feelings are less valid because there is someone who has it worse than them. After all, telling someone to be happy because someone has it worse is like telling someone to be sad because there is someone who has it better.
