Reflection

I found this list to be quite difficult because I’m not used to picking these things out. I normally try to live my life without thinking about the things that necessarily bug me almost every day.  In my head, if you were to think about all the things that bug you like this, you would be a miserable person. I have the habit of putting these “parasites” in the back of my head and only bring them up when I’m thinking about nothing else. But overall, it was interesting to find what really bugs me. Some of the things I jokingly say that it bugs me because it just happens on a day-to-day basis.
