By most accounts, I have had an easy life. I'm 16, and the only bad thing in my life is some mommy issues, but even that isn't exactly "crippling". I have never even broken a bone.
Sometimes when I talk to people, they start telling me their sad stories about life. Really crappy stuff that I have no experience with. I can't really relate to anyone's story, and I just feel like it prevents me from being comforting to the sad person. It bugs the hell outa me!
Afer situation like that, I sometimes wish I had some kind of tragic flaw in my life, just so I could relate to people better. It seems irrational, but I almost feel kinda 'empty', like sorrow is a facet of life I have not yet truly experienced.
Is it completely irrational and wrong for me to wish for my life to have an element of great sadness? It seems that way to me, and yet I can't help the way I feel.
