Sometimes I really don't understand people. Each person is entitled to their own opinions and feelings.

The more I live in the Pacific Northwest, the more I realize that the culture here is very focused on the "me" and primarily the "me" only. It frustrates me. I was raised in a culture and a family that values people. And I'm living in a place where the majority of my things are used by everybody. I enjoy sharing with people, but I feel much less inclined to do so when people are unappreciative or won't share their own things with others. I understand but only so much. Sometimes I just want to throw my hands up and say, "Stop bitching! You didn't have to acquire all of this stuff. Suck it up and stop being a selfish fool."

But then I think, well maybe some days people feel like that towards me. Who knows?

I don't dislike where I live; some days I just really hate the things this culture values.
