why

why is it that when all i want is to live a simple life - home, love, knitting, baking, family - i find myself with two jobs, exhausted, precious little personal time, and still broke? yes, i have chosen this path for the moment, but how did i end up here? is life so expensive that even though i have a "real job" and i live fairly frugally, i must still have two jobs? and then i read about the horrific events in the world and realize that my life, though stressful, is a walk on easy street. there are many people who would gladly trade their life situation for mine, and i wonder how i am so selfish as to think that being tired can compare to losing your home, job, or family?
