Day 44 - Oct.20.18 - Product of privilege

Didn’t do much today tbh. Read most of ‘subtle art of not giving a f***’ and felt like that was the only productive thing today. Also went and walked to the market and I think I’ll do the same tomorrow. D**** brought up a good point today about how we’re basically products of our privilege and I couldn’t agree more. My first instinct was not to confront it but it should always be remembered. I’m so lucky to be living the life I have and most/if not all of it I owe to my parents because they’ve given me every opportunity we could ever ask for. Now I gotta go out and be even better. The book is trying to instil this idea that you should shift your values and although I do believe having good values has led me to enjoy life, in order for me to sustain this feeling, I gotta work for all of it and be willing to do things people aren’t typical. Go to work!
