Hello Community,
Sincerely on this topic, I don’t think I even need a gun to my head to think about the things that I am grateful for, sometimes life just has a way of reminding you, silently that there are things you should not take for granted, first thing, and I think this is the most obvious one, is life itself, just waking up every day, breathing,like being able to move around, think, feel… that alone is something I don’t think we appreciate enough, there are days when everything feels off, when nothing is going the way I planned, but even in those moments, I still have life, and as long as I have that, there’s always a chance to try again, to fix things, to do better,that alone means a lot to me.
Then my family, I do not think I say this enough, Having people who are there for me, my family I mean people who genuinely care, My family is not perfect of course nothing ever is.. the fact that I have my family , the people I can call my own people who have seen me at my best and worst and still stand by me ,that is something I am deeply grateful for.
Then there is my partner, honestly my partner hits differently, having my partner who understands me, who supports my partner, and who just gets me, without me having to explain every thing , I mean that is rare, I am really grateful for that kind of presence of my partner in my life, it is not about love for my partner in the big dramatic sense but also the small things, like my partner checking up on me and my partner, my partner and me sharing random thoughts, my partner and me laughing over nothing, those little moments with my partner add up, they matter more than I realise
If I think deeper, I would also say I’m grateful for growth, the fact that I am not the same person I was a few years ago, the lessons I have learned, even from mistakes and hard situations… all of that has shaped me, at the time, some of those experiences didn’t feel like blessings at all, but looking back now, I can see how they helped me become more aware, more patient, and honestly, more grounded, but if I had to pick that one thing, that one thing I will always be happy about regardless of how the rest of my life turns out, it would be the fact that I got to experience genuine connections with people, real relationships, not surface level, not forced, but real ones, because at the end of the day, life can go in any direction things can change, plans can fail, but knowing that at some point, I had people who truly cared about me, and I cared about them too, that is something no one can take away.
I think sometimes we are always chasing the next big thing more money, more success, more achievements and we forget that some of the most important things are already in our lives,they are just quiet, they don’t make noise, but they are there, so yeah, if it ever came down to it, those are the things I would mention without even thinking twice: life, family, my partner, and the real connections I have been lucky enough to have, everything else can come and go, but those ones? They stay with you in a way nothing else does.
