Why Me?

Sometimes, I am far to quick to ask myself  “Why me?” Yes, why me…why was it me that had to get knee surgery, ankle surgery, hand surgery? That wrecked my car twice in one month? That can’t seem to catch a break? Why was it me that got so injured that I couldn’t play college soccer anymore? Why are my dreams always the ones that get crushed? 

Really, I should be so thankful for my amazing healthcare. For the sole fact that I don't have to worry if I can even afford so many corrective surgeries. I should think about the things I do have in my life, not the things I miss. Why think “why can’t I play soccer?” instead of “I can’t believe I got the opportunity to play division one soccer". Why is it so hard for us to be positive? How easy society makes it for us to pity ourselves.
