- I mailed back the disc of Homeland too soon and now we missed an episode.
- I just noticed the jean jacket I recently purchased, and have worn multiple times, has a major stitching flaw.
- I changed my mind on the design of the iPad case I wanted but now I can’t find the receipt.
- Our FREE grill isn’t working.
- The gas card I was gifted isn’t for stations locally.
These are jokingly referred to as First World Problems. The joke is that they’re not real problems are they? It would be like comparing an actual disease to a case of the hiccups. So when I feel a sting of pity of a bit overwhelmed I suddenly remember: I am privileged, extremely so. And as much as I might roll my eyes or think “crap” and “dang it” these problems only reflect good things… I have money. I have clothes. I have food. I have people that care about me. Plain and simple.
