Steve McCurry

Steve McCurry is my favourite photojournalist of late. His blog in itself is inspiring and reiterates just how lucky the developed world has it compared to the struggles of those who are living in poor conditions, whose lives are threatened due to civil conflict and aren't able to access an excellent education we do.

Additionally, i was watching comedian Louis C.K. the other night, and he had a joke on how "white people have white people problems". Being that we, citizens of the developed world usually make up our own problems despite of our amazing lives. I've graduated high school, but i don't have a boyfriend. I go to McDonald's for food, but I've had to wait 5 minutes in queue. Tumblr is down, i have nothing else to do with my life.

I've really learnt to put everything into perspective. Live with humility. Love with compassion. Life is only as hard as you make it.
