I've never... WTF

So, there's this stupid girl who list me everything she never experienced before, just to prove she is different and doesn't know how to fit in because she has super strict parents. Blah blah blah..
Some of the stuff she mentioned are:

  • Starbucks
  • Apple products (Iphone/Ipod)
  • Lunchables

First, this girl never had Starbucks? It's okay, because warning labels say that Starbucks coffee may cause cancer. So, you're fine.
Second, if your super strict parents is not going to buy you Starbucks, just go and get it yourself! There's one next to the school campus. If you want it, go get it! If it is expensive, get the kid size. 
Third, Iphone? really? You never got an Iphone or Ipod? Poor girl! Guess what? I never had one either!!! Why? because I dont need one, especially to fit in. There is a reason they are consider hipster products! Just because all your friends have one, doesnt mean you need one! I'm one of those spoiled only child who ask their parents for things and likely get them, but I NEVER ASKED FOR AN IPHONE! That thing is expensive and I know my parents work hard just for living expenses. Even when my dad is willing to get one for me, I REFUSED! because to me it is no different than any other phone, other than it's price. With that money, I can pay my month's rent + food + utilities! 
Third, Lunchables. >.> what? why? You can make yourself a lunch box without tasting like plastic.
Fourth, what on earth are you telling me this? I will be surprised, but I don't care. Seriously, what reaction do you give when someone tells you this? There is 2 choices: Go out of my way to get them for you OR okay..ignore.. I am definitely not getting a Iphone for you. Starbucks, I'll get you one if I like you when it is one of those buy one get one free. Sorry, I dont share drinks. Lunchables, again plastic. 
Fifth, I'm not any better off than you. If you want sympathy, you will not get them from me. I got my share of strict parents too! When you're young, did you get hit by a bamboo stick just for buying Lay's with your $1 allowance? or got yelled at for asking permission to go to a friend's house after school? Seriously, your first world problems are just ridiculous. There's a lot of people like us, and there are many more people living worst than us. 

I Forgive You

From the song "I Forgive You" by Kelly Clarkson:
If I hate you, what does that do 
So I breathe in and I count to 10 
Hating someone or just being mad at someone is a stupid thing to do. It becomes an obsession. You dislike every little action or comment they make. Do I need to care so much about someone I dislike? No.
This year I learned this: So what if I dislike them? It will not hurt them in any way. I'm a firm believer in karma, if a person does something unfair to you, they will soon experience something like it too. I'm not hoping anything bad to happen to them, I just like to hope nothing good happen to them. That's not evil, right? and at least to me, they deserve at least that much.

Or maybe like what wise people say:
Kill them with kindness. 
You are at a higher level than them, don't go down to their level. They are not worth it. Be kind to them, and make them look bad.
