Sometimes I really just forget how much the world has invested in me, and by that I mean how much the people I've met, the places I've been, and the memories that I got to experience have shaped into becoming the kind of person I am today.
I know I'm not the most sentimental person on the planet, but I do believe in trying to practice gratitude from time to time. I often seem to forget how much other people have done for me and even when I don't, I often have trouble displaying my thankfulness to them.
But this point is a reminder to myself to try to thank the people in my life for what they have done for me and the distress they had to go through just for the sake of my well-being.
Not just my parents, but this one goes out to every single person in my life who was or still is, one of my sources to find hope or to learn a valuable lesson of life.
Thank You Steem
For making me feel like my voice is worth something and that I actually do have something to say that people wanna hear. Steem is one of my biggest priority in life right now and I can not imagine not writing on my blog.
It has come to a point where I start to feel kinda lost in a way, if I'm not consistently writing down my thoughts and sharing them with other people. Before I joined Steem, I never thought I'll be able to earn money out of doing something I love, and now here I am.
Also thanks to my cousin 
Thank you Mom
I've talked about it earlier in one of my previous posts that most of what's good in me, came from my mother, and I still believe that to be true in every way possible.
I know I don't show it often, but I just want her to know how much she means to me and how it scares me to my core imagining my life without her.
What she has done for me and my brother, especially in hard times, is a strong proof of how far a mother can go just to keep her kids happy and healthy, and I don't think I'll ever be able to repay her for everything that she has done for me and is doing for me still.
Thank You Bullies
If I'm being honest, high school was just as big of a nightmare for me as it was a dreamland. I've shared before how I used to get bullied a lot as a kid, both physically and verbally, and how it left a mark on my personality which I'm trying to erase.
But in a weird way, I'm also kinda thankful for all the bad that has happened with me. If I had never lived one of my worst fears, I would never have grown out of it.
I have been humiliated in front of hundreds, physically assaulted, and treated like shit, and that's exactly the reason why I don't fear anyone stronger than me as much because I know I can get up no matter how many times I get pinned down.
Thank You Myself
It took me a long time to realize that the only person who is going to stay with me forever is myself. I know that might sound kinda dumb, but it works for me to picture myself outside of my own consciousness sometimes, to see myself as a different person, and I'm thankful to myself that I have the ability to do that.
I need to teach myself how to thank myself for all my achievements and the good decisions I've made as much as I berate myself for every bad decision and ill-actions I've made.
I need to thank the part of me that forced me to carry on even though I just wanted to give up, the part of me that led me to do things that I was scared of doing, and the part of me that... always had hope for me.
