being thankful

I just wanted to say that i have really great friends

ones who will stand by me no matter what

ones who surprise me

make me laugh

make me cry

comfort me when i do

and help me

every step of the way

so i thank them

all

i have great parents

who are supportive

and go out of their way to make me happy

to help me

ones who will hide their feelings

to make me happy

even when deep down inside

they are feeling terrible

i have great grandparents

who wake up early every morning

to cook us breakfast

and lunch

i have a great brother

who will

during most times

help me when i need it

and during the times of stress

and worries

he will be there

no matter what

this is short

but this is important

i am just thankful for everything

even if i am not doing as good as i wanted, even if i am not getting along with everyone in school, even if i am not getting enough sleep or working hard enough or don't have something i want

cause in the end

i know

that i am surrounded

by fantastic people

even those who may not seem the nicest to me

at this point in time

are wonderful people

i am thankful for them

for all of them

for everything that i have

also

everyone

has they difficulties

has their problems

and their troubles that tey are dealing with

at every point in their lives

although it may not seem obvious to the bystander

but they are dealing with these nonetheless

no one is perfect

everyone has problems

i have to think of that

i have to remember that

to keep in mind that people act a certain way for a reason

just know that there is someone out there that is tied in knots that are way thicker than yours, so that my problems are not the only thing in the world, that everyone has them too. so take that into consideration when you're around someone, anyone.
