I chose this picture for many different reasons, one of them being the range of emotions it gives me. This picture makes me sad, grateful, excited and heartbroken at the same time. The things the people in this picture have to go through is something I myself or anyone I know will never even worry about. We live day to day worrying about things these people would kill to even think about. What color shoes are we going to buy? What kind of new phone we want, or even why are boyfriends aren't texting us back. It saddens me that we are so unappreciative for the things we get and have the privilege to do. We get to go home at night and sleep in a comfortable bed with a roof over our heads. But not before we eat a dinner with the ability to get seconds. These people are worrying whether they are going to live to see the next day or not. Food to them isn't an every day thing, they take what they can get and they can't get a lot. Looking at this shocks me at how good I have things. It leaves me grateful and excited at the same time that I get to live a life so good. It really puts a lot of things into perspective, makes things seem a lot better. Life is as good as you make it, we have the opportunity to make it good.
