Despite the road blocks that go along with life, I am very thankful for a lot of things. Sometimes life can get hard, but I know I don't have it nearly as bad as others and my heart goes out to all of the people who have it so bad. I hope that they stick it out and try their hardest to become someone or something and become successful and amazing people.
Here is what I am thankful for:
1) Being here and alive
2) Being able to go to school and get an education. ~ I love school and I love learning. It's been really hard and my grades have been sort of slipping, but I am really trying. I'm grateful that I am able to go through school and that I enjoy it as much as I do, because some people just take it for granted while others can't go to school.
3) Having a family. ~ My family is extremely disfunctional and I hate it. Unfortunately, I can't control them or anyone else, so there isn't anything I can do or change about it except just keep going and trying to keep my head up.
4) MY JOB! ~ I am sooo grateful to have a job! Not only a job, but I job that I absolutely LOVE. Not many people can say they love there job, but I sure can. I even work at a fast food restaurant, and I can still say I love it. Mostly because the people I work with. I havn't gotten out of the house much so being social is something I don't really do, but I am now that I have a job. Plus, it feels good to be responisble and to make money that I worked very hard for.
5) My boyfriend. ~ I find him to be very lazy and immature, but he puts up with me, so I gotta put up with him! XD. Im just glad he's with me. Somedays (a lot lately) are really hard to get through talking to him because he's not at the same maturity level as I am (and I am 2 years younger) and I make smarter choices than he does. But he has good intentions and I can't see myself with anyone else.
6) The real friends that I DO have. ~ In my previious post I told about an ex friend who treated me like crap that is trying to ease their way back into my life. People like her are no good and don't have a soul (lol jk about the soul part) I am thankful for the REAL friends. Friends who honestly sincerely care about our friendships and about me and what we have. I am not to entirely sure who those people are anymore, but I have hope that they are there. And I am thankful for the.
7) I am thankful for my religion. ~ My religion has helped me so much. It has pulled me away from believing in the most extreme stuff. My religion is a left-pathed religion, so it's the opposite of Christianity. Basically, it's an atheist religion, but there is more to it than that. I have nothing against Christianity, because my whole family are christians and my friends are christians. But it's not for me, it's not what I believe in.
8) Anime and Manga! ~ Anime and manga have helped me escape a lot. Over the summer after break up and an ending of a friendship with that "friend" I had, I didn't have much of a life. I didn't want to go out and do things. Id lay around doing nothing. But when I watched anime, it helped me escape from the pains of life at the time. It still does, but it's just wonderful. It's like music for some people. It's what brought me to this site, it's what made me meet 2 of my best friends at an anime convention, and it helped me realize that I don't need to hide myself, I don't need to be ashamed of liking the things I like. I used to and still do get made fun of by friends for liking anime and manga. I went to a convention and all the people there were awesome and I could be myself. I thought "why should I suffer and hide how I feel and who I am" and since then I have been a better person.
THANK YOU FOR READING THIS IF YOU DID! I LOVE IT WHEN PEOPLE COMMENT AND GIVE ME THEIR INPUT AND HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT WHAT I SAY, EVEN IF I DON'T AGREE! AND I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY MAY CARE ABOUT WHAT I HAVE TO SAY! I LOVE YOU GUYS IN A FAN-TYPE OF LOVE! XD
