| | a day late, but that's ok When asked,
"What do you want for your birthday?"
I couldn't really come up with an answer.
I didn't really have a gift in mind that I really really wanted.
Thinking on that, I asked myself,
"What exactly do I want?"
and then I realized, I don't really want anything.
I have clothes, running water, money, a house, food, music, accessories, books, schooling... basically everything that I need and want (within limits of course).
I don't think I'm as spoiled as I could be.
I think that I will turn out to be (at least) a somewhat decent human being.
And I owe that to who I have...
I have a family. I may argue with my parents. I may feel unloved. I may feel hated. I may feel uncared for. I may be angry at them, and I may hate them, but in the end, they are still my family and they love me and I love them. My parents and grandparents have done their best to shape me into a upstanding person. If I'm not, that is my own fault. They have offered me all they could.
I have a little brother. I may treat him as any older sibling treats their younger siblings. I may bully him around. He may be obnoxious. We may fight, but that's what siblings do. Thanks to him, I still know what it's like to be a kid. Hopefully I can remember that forever.
I have my friends. Over these four years of high school, I have made and lost friends. I have learned exactly how strong friendships can be. High school may be over, and we may be heading off in different directions, but we will still be friends forever. Thank you guys (especially the musketeers) for sharing part of your life with me.
So in answer that ever present birthday question: I don't need anything. I don't really want anything.
You guys have already given me all that I need and want, whether you guys know it or not. For that, I am grateful. Thank you.
course, for those who aren't satisfied for that emotional filled rant thing: glowsticks and a good book are always appreciated |
