Life's fairness

So today,

Sumin was told me about how her parents put a mountain's weight of pressure on her to do well academically. They're expectations are far beyond reasonable or achievable. Sumin is one of THE most hardworking people I know. Gosh whenever I hear how much she's done, I feel guilty. It's insane how much effort she puts into her work. And yet, her parents don't still don't think she's trying her best. Like. WHAT.And they constantly compare her with other people and it's just ridiculous.

I realised how lucky I am to have such supportive parents. And how unfair life is. And how much undeserving I am. Like. I don't work half as hard as Sumin does. She deserves to have her effort acknowledged. She deserves to be encouraged and lifted up by her parents. I'm sure they love her and just don't know how to help her, but still.

Why do I get to have it so easy? It's not fair. I feel like I want other people to have my life. Don't get me wrong, I love my life (most of the time). But I have all these well, resources?, that should be shared or something. Everyone should be this fortunate. No one should have to go through so much pain.

aoisdgjopsdgopsgkpodgj. idk. I actually got slightly, uncharacteristically, emotional when trying to convince Sumin that she IS capable and doing amazingly well in spite of what her parents believe.

Weird.
Me.
