Gratitude 1

[vegansongbird]

So. I'm a young person who's had some privilege in her life. I have a supportive group of friends who know me and love me as I am. I'm able to really explore and make decisions like becoming vegan and grow to help other people explore that path too. I have gifts and talents that I develop and pursue a future with. I enjoy life physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Is it always fun all the time? No... but I kind of feel motivated to not be "boring". Boring is entirely subjective, of course. Naps, books, and sky watching aren't boring when I feel like doing them, you know? But the gratitude thing... something about appreciating that sentiment more as I grow up... it makes me feel so thankful for everything I've ever had that I want to make the best of everything I have. Something I don't have could be a problem I don't have. I felt like writing about it because it's influencing my day to day more. If I'm feeling down, some part of me knows that I'll have something to smile about soon. So, I end up finding an opportunity to make someone else smile, and I inevitably end up smiling. Then, I'm grateful for that moment. Gratitude is magical.
