I don't know if you believe in a higher power or not; I do, and I think that often helps me put my tiny little frustrations into perspective. I'd love to say I'm the kind of person who wakes up every morning and gives thanks; I'm not. Usually I wake up and wish I was filthy, rotten rich so I could sleep in until 10 and play Super Metroid until 3, then write for five hours and drink myself to sleep. That's not my life, and it probably never will be; but I'm grateful that I have as much as I do, including — if I lay off iTunes and Threadless — enough money to give at least something to those who have literally nothing.
