just because

First world problems read by third world kids.

In my preparations for life abroad, I have had the chance to reflect on the luxury of living in the US. While I understand the standard of living and all the conventions are drastically different, luxury takes on a whole new meaning.

This is a short video I found online the other night. It was too good not to share. It puts so much into perspective and should really make us reflect on what we do have. We should be thankful, not annoyed. Content, not greedy. Easier said than done.

Of course, it's also an ad for water, which is an issue that is close to my heart.

Take a look. Think about it. It's worth your next minute.

#FirstWorldProblems are not problems.


(By the way, I am not asking you to donate at all. I do not even know what organization this is or anything about them. I just thought it was an interesting video.)
