What are you grateful for in your life?

Question

A person, an experience, some asset, nature, your car, education, your personality, your health... and the list goes on.

Gratitude is something we should form a part of our life. More often than not we take things for granted when we might not even survive without them. Just a simple example would be the meal served on our breakfast, lunch, dinner plates is a dream of millions. Should be grateful for it.

What is it that you feel grateful for?

This is something I always try to keep in perspective, because my life is a pretty huge and relentless bummer this last decade or so, in some regards. In other ways, I have things SO easy, and SO many good things going on. It’s kind of a mindfuck, really, lmao. But anyway…. I’m on GAG to pretend all that bullshit isn’t happening, so…moving on.

I’d probably start with my family, particularly my parents. They have/had their flaws, but as far as I go, I couldn’t have asked for better parents. We’ve had our battles for sure. But the more I go through life and the more people I meet and learn about, the more I realize how much I can’t take that for granted. Some people have a parent they don’t even know, let alone not having a good relationship with them, and mine were just always there, and everything was done with me in mind. I didn’t always feel understood, but I always knew I was loved.

I guess my health is another huge one. I’m a little dinged up from football, etc, but for the most part, I’m in very good health and always have been. We just lost a guy here to colon cancer, late 30s I think. Unbelievably tragic. So, that’s another thing I just can’t take for granted.

My oldest group of friends…SO solid. I barely see them more than a few times per year due to distance and my life circumstances, but if I needed something, those guys would have my back.

Without being tacky, I don’t have to worry a ton about money, so not having that kind of stress hanging over me, having survived some weekends in the past running an extension cord out into the apartment building’s hallway to steal power because my lights got cut off, and eating Ramen noodles and just-add-water pancakes or waffles as a struggle meal, I definitely consider myself very lucky there.

I’m very grateful for my girlfriend as well, although her illness is really the reason my life is jacked up. She herself is an amazing person, but she’s just not really able to be functional, and I don’t know when it will end, but this is just the hand we were dealt, so…onward. But she’s a great gal, I just hope I get her back one day.

I think I’m pretty grateful for just being me, too, as conceited as it might sound. I don’t know that I’m a 10 in any of the usual major categories, but I’d say in most or all of those categories, you could find a whole lot worse than me.

All in all…. I have some pretty major league problems in my life, but they’re all situational and hopefully temporary. All the fixed stuff…. I’m very, very thankful for the numerous blessings I have. And it’s very important to my sanity to keep those blessings in the forefront where I always remember them, so thanks for asking this, haha

I'm grateful that I get gains from the weights. And that I get pussy and $$$$ from that result. I'm grateful that I'm not a retard and could obviously mentally slam dance on top of most of you mental midgets. I mean ffs most of you people are retarded and the ones that are not know who they are and usually agree with my general logic. I'm just being real. I'm not trying to sound narcissistic here, I'm just being real.

Anyways I feel grateful for that shit.

-My pulse/heartbeat. -Being Asian Filipina and having had the experience of living in the Philippines from birth to 7 and then growing up in America and having a great childhood there as well. -My more simpler teen years from 1997-2004. I am just imagine the things young adults and teens go through now with the more normalized school shootings taking place, the ugly music of today, the auto tune from the 2000's and the 2010's lol, the cyberbullying (more rampant), the social media shit. The popularity contest has moved to social media lol. I didn't have to deal with that stuff when I was younger though I did get unfairly bullied by this mean girl from South Africa lol. I don't wanna talk about that lol.  -I live in a pretty prestigious city and neighborhood in California.  -1st World country and "first world problems" but really I don't always agree in that 1st world problems are easier though haha.  The wisdom I've gained from being almost 40 years on this earth about how people generally are and what I can do to avoid bad people or know how to protect myself more. Just lessons (big and small) that I've learned so that I'm not so naive as I was when I was younger.  There's probably more, but it's getting late and I'm getting tired haha.

Nothing in life matters one iota if you are going to hell when you die. Your eternal life is what matters. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

Billlewis · Answer

I'm very grateful to the wonderful people on this site who have been so kind and gracious to me. I've had so many great conversations with both men and women of all ages, and several people have even been kind enough to share their most unrestrained sexual moments with their lucky boyfriends and husbands, via audio clips. Despite the stressfulness and despair of the current era, the kindness and good faith of the human spirit still exists.

Nothing. I work with what I have. If it is good then I don't need to worry about it. If it is bad, I try to fix it, and failing that, learn to live with it.
