For years has my family ram their decisions down my throat. Even about the gifts I would get. Conversely though, I have never got used to saying thank you. As much as lack  of sleep can throw your  body out of kilter, guilt can do too. Hence, the need to be grateful for the small things in life. Irrespective of what your situation is right now, there is always something to be thankful for.

 

For instance, I've been plucky enough to confront my kin lately. However, have I not been that way to thank my friends. May I have been maneuvered  into making the wrong decisions in the past. Be that as it may, my friends have been behind me always from the start. Something I had not considered before due to being boxed in my emotions.

 

May I not have been able to lay down the law to my kin and let them know what I wanted to do with my life when I was a teen. Even so, I can do it now. Besides, once I said I was going to succeed and I cannot go back on my word. I may still live off my parents, but at least I am not embarrassed to say it. Nonetheless, it is not that I have not been doing anything in the meantime. I just needed to find a north for a start.

 

Should my own actions spur me on to succeed. There is no point in choking back my tears now. Do I know that what I have been through has not been easy. Still and all, we all withstand pain in our own way. Have I been able to get by my problems with the skills I had at hand. Albeit, I know now that I am capable of much more and so I am going to tug my shirt into my pants and move on. Enough is enough trying to cover up for some of my insecurities.
