We Can't Always Feel Good
Hi Dr. Laura,

I called you yesterday about how I was upset that my idea was voted out for a school project and how I took it very personally. You more or less said that if something is better, then that idea should be implemented. I hung up upset because I didn't hear what I wanted to hear.

However later that night, I had my Dr. Laura moment and I realized that I was wrong and you were right. My generation has grown up in a society where we always have to feel good. For crying out loud, our mere presence will get us some type of award! However, now that I am about to graduate from the university and close to entering the real world, I see more and more that we can't always feel good because life will constantly present obstacles. Unfortunately, before I called you I thought these obstacles were just "people being mean to me". Thank you for turning on that light bulb.

Lots of love,

Meghan
