Not sure how to say my thoughts on the subject in an unlocked entry, but I mean, there are differences between crêpe stands and Maktav... lol. If I focus on him the only thing that makes me mad is being on this side of the ocean, whereas if I focus on cultural differences I get worked up against things I see around me? If that makes sense. Like, I'd rather be lying around pining over a famous man than be sitting here hating the town I'm in for not having crêpe stands or decent public transportation? Either way I'm unhappy, but one way I'm less... mean...?

Although your point is definitely sound and I did change my desktop background from a Maktav Slideshow of PAIN to that picture of my dolls being at Bercy upon reflecting on your advice... that might at least put me in a kind of different mindset?
