==========
There are many things which I am thankful for.
I do not have a good GPA. I do not have a lot of money. I do not have a boyfriend. I do not have, am not, and will never be, anything special.
But.
I have a family that loves me, and even though we quarrel and get angry, there is an unspoken care for each other, which provides me with comfort. I am thankful that we are all together, and at the same time I am sorry, to those who have lost their family through death or divorce or any other reason. I can only imagine the pain you must endure, and yet that would only be a fraction of what you actually feel.
I have friends who make me laugh and accept me for myself, even though I can be annoying and too retarded. They listen to my problems and actually want to help. I am grateful for every minute you take off to try and help, or to just be there so I know that you got my back. I am sorry for always bothering you and being a burden. For everything you've done for me, I've accumulated a debt I cannot repay.
I have my health, and even though I am not thin or beautiful, even though I sometimes look in the mirror or down at myself and sigh, even though outwardly I am severely lacking, my body is functioning well and I can play sports, a luxury many want but can never afford.
We keep aiming for something extraordinary, yet we don't realise that actually, every simple, little thing we have is extraordinary in itself.
Beautifully written.
Happy new year, guys! :)
