life's short, so love the one you've got?
Okay, so I know I've been complaining a lot lately and have been feeling down. But when I think about my life in a positive way, I realize that I have so much to be thankful for and that I am really pretty lucky. I mean, if you think about it...how many kids probably wish they had the things I have?
For starters, I have an awesome family. They are loving and supportive of me, even when I don't live up to my standards. They are always there to lend an ear and/or offer encouragement. I think that's why I like to go home so much!
And okay, so I don't have a ton of friends, and I don't hang out with people very much. And I know a lot of it is my fault, but I feel like it's too late to do anything.
But I don't have any enemies. No death threats or anything.
And when I walk around campus, I see lots of people that I know that will exchange "hey"'s with me. And that's a nice feeling.
I'm in college getting an education. So my grades aren't as high as I'd like, but that's because I don't study enough. But I'm preparing to have a nice bright future. Being a teacher may not be exciting and glamorous, but I think it will be fun anyway. Because I am going to be an awesome teacher, dammit.
And I'm a normal looking kid. Fairly healthy. Maybe not gorgeous, or with the perfect body. But some kids are born without limbs, or are born with diseases & conditions such as retardation, etc. But not me.
So how can I complain? There's a lot to be happy about.
I'm going to try to have a more positive outlook on life from now on.
