So I've been a little extra overwhelmed, stressy, grumpy, whiny, bratty, and a whole bunch of undesirable adjectives lately, specifically towards my family, but it probably gets into my social life also so first I wanna say: sorry. I just thought in the midst of all this, it might be helpful to take a moment to list the things I'm thankful for rather than dwell on the petty things I don't have or want to have or wish to change.
- living, unseparated family
-a loving and caring sister
-an intelligent brother
-my mom
-my dad who is supportive and always wants me to try my hardest for the sake of learning itself
-for my amazing friends, in good and bad times, who are there for me at my worst as well as my best, and who I wouldn't trade for anything in the world
-Z, who manages to take time out of her crazy life to spend time with the people she cares about and make them happy. She is brilliant and insightful, always with a new way of looking at things
-H, who is wholly kind and caring in everything she does, and who tries to see things rationally and fairly with a high amount of respect. She is happy just to spend a bit of time relaxing and taking a break with me, which I really value
-Am, who has incomparable energy and positivity, who is insanely intelligent, sweet, and loyal
-Av, who takes tragedy, and pain I can't even imagine, and wakes up every day, strong, powerful, resilient, and still just as loving as always, taking time just to talk, listen, and be a friend
-All of my other friends, who make me laugh, smile, and make my life at this school that much better
-The school community
-my school, though trying and challenging at times, has given me opportunities I would not be able to find anywhere else, and has taught me not only to care about the world around me, but also to enjoy it as much as I can
-my home being a safe place
-my future
-chapstick
-coffee
-the internet
-living
