Greatful

I never forget how fortunate I am — being born healthy in the United Kingdom with a loving and encouraging family is the equivalent of winning the global lottery — and I am thankful each day that I have been born into these circumstances. However despite everything looking all dandy and rays of sunshine on the outside in reality, I have tough times, life hands you a deck of cards and sometimes the hand you get dealt can suck..a lot. In my experience life always seems to give the brightest nicest people the hardest times. Not to say that my life is really hard..because most of my life I've had things i want handed to me on a silver plate; I know that. The problems I speak of aren't money problems or social problems, they are much deeper than that. Family is something I hold very dear to my heart, each day I wake up grateful of having such a wonderful mother, who does anything she can to make sure I get the most out of the life I have, but I have had my rocky patches; waking up and in the space of 24 hours finding out that everything you thought you knew was a lie, all the memories ruined. Just like that. Gone. 

However I'm not going to tell you a pity story while sitting here throwing myself a pity party because life moves on and living in the past is waste of a life time; We don't have enough time at the best of times anyway. 

I may not portray it 24/7 how grateful I am for my life on the outside and for that god I am sorry. I am Thankful for this beautiful life, forgive me for not showing enough love each day. 

The most beautiful people I know are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen and I fully believe that every struggle, heartbreak and task I am thrown in this lifetime is put in place for a reason; and no matter how dark the space may get some times, I try and remember that they are all going to build and shape me into the person I was put on this planet to be.

Be grateful. Appreciate. Live Life. - Life starts where your comfort zone ends.
