Gratitude

The person I'm most thankful for would be my mom. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be alive today. I wouldn't be here today, not because she gave birth to me but because she had taken me out of a place that I've been stuck in for about 4 years. I'm still in that zone but I'm not as bad as I used to be, all because of her. She is the reason I'm living, why I'm healthy, why I actually want to live. I love her. The other people I'm most thankful for would be my brothers. They taught me all sorts of things. They took care of me when I wasn't mentally okay. When they found out what was going on with me, they were supportive. They were there for me. They continue to still be there for me.

I'll never forget what my uncle had done for me and my family about 9 years ago when he was here. He would protect us. He would protect my mom, as a brother would of course. My uncle was a strong man that was also dealing with other things in his own life but he never left us out. He was a giver, he gave me love when I felt alone. He was like a best friend. I'm forever thankful for him. May he rest in peace.

I adore my friends and my boyfriend, I'm so grateful to have them. They are also the reason why I want to live. They bring happiness to my life and that is all I ever want. I know they would do anything for me and I for them. They have absolutely no idea how much they have impacted my life. I love the fact that Dena and I share the same sense of humor. I adore the fact that Shay and I have a bond that no one can break, we're sisters. I love how Andrew is my best friend who loves me for me and only me. My friend, Destiny, has always been there for me and I love her. Others who we may just talk with no labels, it makes me feel good that they feel the need to speak to me. For that, I'm thankful.

I'm thankful for every single person in my life. Even people I don't speak to them anymore or I'm not friends with anymore, I'm still grateful for them. Although we don't speak anymore or aren't friends anymore doesn't mean I have forgotten everything they've done for me. It doesn't mean I have forgotten everything they've taught me. I'm not one to hold hatred. I still have love for those that aren't in my life.
