Well, that's what I thought before I started here and don't get me wrong I still do believe that. But what I didn't realize is how much I was going to miss my home life. By the time I was a senior in High school my mind set was already on college and moving away. I was ready to leave that small town and move on to living the city life. I knew it was going to be a big change, but I really underestimated how big the change was.
I lived in the same town since I was in first grade. I am very close with my family and friends. Some of my friendships are ten years strong. So leaving those connections behind was one of the hardest things I've had to do. But when I do get to go home and see everyone I am very grateful. I know that some people aren't as lucky as I am to have the type of people in their lives as I do.
Something that I have taken away from this experience of being away from home is to be thankful for the people that you do have in your life. Yes, families fight, they annoy the crap out of you at times, you scream at each other, but at the end of the day they are your family. They will always be there for you. So, as Thanksgiving rolls around the corner, I ask you this: What are you thankful for?
I can completely relate to this, you've also made me realize how much we should be thankful for. Even if it doesn't seem like much, there's always reasons to be thankful. I thought this was a little short because I enjoyed reading it and would like to have read some more! Great job. Next time try to delve more and expand on your points.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I am thankful for my dog... He is just so very warm and puts on such pathetic faces that I can't resist giving him a hug. I am thankful for that. Yes, I am somewhat being sarcastic here. I just did not like that bit about family. I am not thankful for a few aspects I find there (in my family anyway.) I don't know what else to say on the matter.
ReplyDeleteYour writing was very fluid here. I felt like your words were very personal and conversational and, sue me if I sound a bit cliche'd here, I like to read blogs which seem like they speak to me.
Seriously, do you ever have anything polite to comment on these blogs? This is the second comment on my blogs that you've left and just tore it apart! I'm not writing these to please you.
