i do have my fair share of bad days (i recently had them actually), but i have days like today where i am effortlessly grateful for everything i have in life, for everything that i am surrounded with.
i. my mom and i argue a lot in so many things, but today i am genuinely so grateful for her, for being so hardworking, for always wanting the best for us even if i fail to appreciate her sometimes because i'm too focused on what i think is right for me.
ii. i can't stand nosy and noisy neighbors at times, but i am grateful that they are kind and nice to us, especially to my mom. even if they can be nosy, i'm thankful that most often than not, they are generous and helpful and can lend some helping hands whenever, wherever.
iii. my siblings can be hard-headed every so often and we have fought a lot during our lifetime, but i'm grateful that the three of us have built great relationships with each other as we grew up, and now that we are all grown ups, i appreciate them even more. i'm thankful that they always got my back and vice versa. seeing them grow and improve and become the better versions of themselves really makes my heart happy. i sometimes get teary-eyed whenever i think about how time went by too fast, and we are now slowly (or almost close to) building our own lives with our own families. 🥺 i pray nothing but the best for them — always.
i am thankful for this life that i have. i am grateful that i am given the chance to live this wonderful life in this messy and chaotic, yet ironically, beautiful world.
honestly, i have never felt abandoned by the Man above, ever, in this lifetime. this life can be challenging, but even if i am not deserving, God never gets tired of picking me up and protecting me every time — that's how gracious and forgiving God is.
if there's anything i wanna be in this lifetime, it is to be a light to everyone that i can come across with. that's how my surroundings has been for me — full of light — and i want to spread that light to everyone and bring it anywhere as much as i can.
i hope y'all are having a great week!
