We take things for granted; food, friends, family, electricity, internet, whatever.
I’m grateful to have the gift of sight and motion that allows me to do art.
I’m in the early years of my life, and if you are, realize that some people have lost what you take for granted. Just think about it.
Dont get me wrong, life still sucks, but it could be much worse. I lost much more things than most people already.

I’m grateful for everything I have, I don’t have the best of everything but I have what I need, life is bad enough without being depressed about the things I don’t have. I can make the best out of nothing. Unless you think like that you can never be content. However I can still strive to make things better If I want.
I’m most grateful for the things I once had to live without until my early twenties:
Tap water / plumbing (toilet, bathtub, shower)
Electric heaters
Internet
I’m grateful that I can be a complete failure and waste of space without being at risk of dying from starvation or exposure.
I’m grateful that those around me no longer suffer on my account.
Independence, the ability to care for and provide for myself. I encounter people every day in my work who have lost their independence, and it is saddening. I don’t know how a person makes the adjustment to being dependent on others. I would be ashamed to have to ask for anything. So, I’m grateful for my functioning body.
I’m grateful for my friends, family and some of the things people mentioned above. Like a car with all it’s parts, if certain pieces were missing, my life would’ve already fallen apart.
While I am intelligent, I realize I don’t have all the answers and sometimes the people in my life do. Also I’m not very good in a crisis situations. I experience a lot of anxiety and crazy thoughts until I can settle down and become rational again.
Even though I know the right answers already I’d be a total wreck without my family (mostly) keeping me sane/grounded. I’m going through some difficulties right now but I believe things will sort themselves out in a few months.
I wish I could go back to my early 20s with the knowledge I have today and just make better decisions. I still have some cards left to play but I’ve been doing the wrong thing for a long time and it’s gotten me nowhere. So I’m just going with what works for now. I just hate figuring this crap out this late in the game (in my 40s).
It’s deeply touching and I feel truly grateful when someone sees something in me that I can’t see, whether it comes in the form of a mere kind word or something more, it’s an unexpected voice which challenges the often critical and unfair way I perceive myself.
It pains me that some may never know just how much they are appreciated and and how their presence has helped in my life.
I am grateful for my parents and for the country that I live in (Czech republic). People here only talk shit about this country all the time and it makes me mad… I would say it is like top 10 country in the world to live in… Free education.. Free healthcare… I am going to university now and I cant fking imagine that I would have to get a student loan and get crippled by debt for the rest of my life possibly… its just disgusting. Here your parents are obligated by law to support you when you study. And the state pays your education and insurance. And its not like the economy is crashing coz of that… USA is just really fuked up.
PatheticMale, Nothing is free, The USA has a different culture, it is very big over here! It is a world power! It helped save your country so you could enjoy the things you have today. And yes we will do it again if we have too! 🙂
I will be gladly to die and give my organs to the people who love and live to the fullest
Im wasting my body.. and dont have a will to live
At least i make a good deed before i died
