I'm lucky

Post Reply New Topic

Blessed with a stable supportive family, a wealth of musical talent, intelligence, and relatively good people in my community. Maybe I don't appreciate that enough sometimes.

I agree we need to appreciate the ones that understand us and stand up and be proud of who we are.

I consider myself lucky as well.

But then again I guess I believe too much in fate? I don't know. I agree also, that no matter how unfortunate aspects of our lives are, there is *always* a good side:

My mother passed away last year, leaving me at the age of 19. But you know what, I was lucky to have a mother as amazing as her -- 'cause I look around at all the other mothers people have to deal with and the crummy relationships my friends have with their mothers, and I wouldn't have traded mine for anybody in the world.

And even further, she would always recant that she was sorry she was our (my brother also) mom because she was sick for a vast majority of our lives. But her entirety, including sickness, is what made us who we are today. She technically should have considered herself fortunate as being able to distill some of life's greatest lessons into the raising of her two kids (that she was immensely proud of) at such "young" ages.

We are all lucky, if we concentrate on the sliver of positive attitude upon any situation.

(Don't get me wrong, I'd rather she be alive, but I also believe in fate/higher power, and this is the way it was meant to be)

well its more of just thinking of it logically. I mean, if you try to think about it from any other angle it just sucks ass, for lack of a more scientific phrase.
