By nature, I am a very emotional person. Sometimes I am crippled by unbearable sadness over a variety of things. Some of the things that make me sad are fairly trivial, while others are huge issues in our society. Whatever the case, I'm grateful that I am able to feel these human emotions—remorse, despair, sadness—no matter how upsetting these emotions can be. Without further ado, here are some of the things that make me sad:
1. I hate seeing dead animals on the road. They can't even get any peace when they keep getting run over again and again.
2. I only have one life to make something of myself.
3. I can never change the past.
4. Not everyone gets to say goodbye to the people they love.
5. There are only a few restaurants I actually like that deliver.

6. While I worry about trivial problems, other countries are filled with people who are willing to risk their lives to escape into the United States.
7. Three words: Animal. Abuse. Commercials.

8. What if I never see some of the people I graduated with ever again?
9. The "Vampire Diaries" gets me. Every. Single. Time.

10. My bank account makes me want to cry 9 times out of 10.
11. I'll probably never be able to afford my dream house.
12. I should have kept a journal of my entire life.
13. Some people can't figure out the difference between "you're" and "your."
14. People with low self-esteem don't know when they deserve better.
15. Chinese restaurants aren't open on Mondays.
16. Chick-fil-A isn't open on Sundays.
17. I can't afford, nor do I have the time, to take care of a puppy.
18. Cats shed. A lot.
19. I'll never know if I could've been the world's greatest gymnast or something.
20. I have less than a year until I'll be done with school. AKA I have less than a year to get my stuff together.
