Well, you do know what my life is like, because I tell you about it all the time, but acknowledging your own privilege is not saying that your life isn’t hard, or your problems aren’t real. It is and they are. Acknowledging your privilege is just like me noticing brain cancer. It’s opening yourself and your awareness up to the experiences of others, experiences that have always been there, but that you didn’t notice. To things that may not negatively affect you directly, but that you can and should still care about.
