As hard as it is sometimes, I realize that though I am not perfect, I am a good person and I am working on being better. I am blessed in so many ways and my life improves every day. I am human, but I am loved by others and I should try to love myself.
In the meantime, I am blessed to be here and be surrounded by so many good people.
I love you all.
Sometimes it’s good to take a step back and remember what we’re thankful for. You managed to put so much emotion into a simple list; I could tell you meant every word. I hope people can take a hint and make the nice changes that we all want to be thankful for in our lives.
(I also feel honored to be listed as your badminton friend, so thank you.)

Your lists showed such a vibrancy and an attention and a thankfulness for these people. It’s evident that you care so much and that you are surrounded by wonderful people. I really loved that you chose to put yourself in at the end. Far too often we forget to be thankful for how we are made, and that was really lovely and refreshing to read.
