be grateful

we should be grateful for the things that are given to us, as well as the good things that were done to us. there are people i know who choose not to be grateful, especially when it causes them to subconsciously link their thoughts to a bad memory. after all, we are only human.

i am truly grateful for all that has happened, be it good or bad. that is how i am able to move forwards in life without regret. if i hadn't been beaten by a leather belt, a feather duster and a clothes hanger, i would probably not be in a good school studying right now. probably mixing with the wrong company and doing the wrong things.

i am grateful. my life is in check. i control it.
