Luxury in comparison

It is a wide world and not just out there, in my mind. The possibilities are endless to the point where I can overwhelm myself. How silly it is, isn't it? That I can overwhelm myself with my own options and that I almost take it for granted. I have been fortunate enough to be given everything in the world to choose from. I really do. My life is a luxury. Being able to breathe is a luxury. Being able to know the difference between polluted air and fresh air, AND experiencing both, is a luxury. I combine both worlds into one just by crossing one ocean. I experience all sorts of love just by crossing one ocean. I am able to cross one ocean in 30 hours and experience all sorts of emotions in one day. Experience is a luxury and I am fortunate to get it.
So, why does my little mind like to complicate things for me? Why does my little mind think everything is so overwhelming? Why doesn't my little mind just shut the hell up??
Hm. Good for me though. I am living the life of luxury because life gives me choices, and because in comparison to the local life in the Philippines I am living in luxury. And I can't even concentrate on what I am writing because I am surrounded by computers, technology and conversations that extend all the way across the world. So much stuff going on. Like in my little world-wide mind. If this is all luxury, I can sure use some time away. I can sure use some quiet time alone.
