there are the people who have it all but have no freaking clue cos they think they have it so damn bad and the suffering of others can't possibly as bad as they have it. then there are the people who clearly should have it so much better but don't, because life can be so unfair.

i feel so sad and powerless when there's nothing, absolutely nothing, i can do to make things okay, to make things alright, to make things normal. it's like... i'm only me and me is not enough.

tonight i give thanks for the good and bad i have.
tonight i give thanks for my parents' generally good health.
tonight i give thanks for my siblings' health.
tonight i give thanks for my health.
tonight i give thanks for having a family (a simple luxury in life denied to some).
tonight i give thanks for my grandmother who has seen me through 19 years of life (and counting).
tonight i give thanks for being able to go to school.
(while education is not everything there is to life but you can't deny that it is something of importance.)
tonight i give thanks for the chance to pursue what i like, the chance to choose, the chance to make my own decision because i know there are people who don't even have a choice. it doesn't matter if things do not go according to plan in the end because the simple act of not denying me the opportunity to do what i like/go after what i want in the first place means just as much to me.

tonight i give thanks for simply being alive.
they are really simple things, but also really easy to miss when bad times and ill luck get the better of you and cause you to lose your head. even i myself am guilty of this. :-(
i'm really happy with all i have (or do not have) now. let's not be greedy. :-)
