The guilt of the 'First World Problem'

The guilt of the ‘First World Problem.' From the outside, it looks like you have it all, the life that our generation was brought up to have and to expect. But something feels missing.

You feel guilty that it feels like something is missing. We tell ourselves ‘But I shouldn't complain, others have it worse.’ Even when talking about it with friends, you dismiss it as a ‘first world problem’ and something to jokingly laugh about and then skim over.

But you wouldn’t have brought it up as a worry if there wasn’t an element of truth there, something that worries you as you get on with the practicalities of your blessed life.

But what part of yourself have you compromised to ‘have it all’ from a societal point of view? What’s the missing piece? How would you define your version of ‘having it all’ if we didn’t have social media or society’s version?

Give yourself permission to feel what you feel today. No ‘buts’ allowed.
