Hello everyone, welcome to the third prompt on Hive Learners. If we are told to count our blessings, to be honest, it’s a really interesting prompt if you ask me.

Anyway,the author said what if a gun was pointed at my head and I was told to list the things I am most grateful for? Hmm… honestly, I had to think deeply about it. What are the things I’m truly grateful for in my life?
First thing first, that would be my life. Yes I meant it above all things I value my life mostly without being born into this word I wouldn't have know so many things and appreciate so many things at the same time.
So many people are not as lucky. Some are born crippled, some have lost parts of their body, some struggle every single day just to breathe and have to depend on oxygen. Some are sicklers, moving from one hospital to another, fighting battles they didn’t choose.
But me, I am here today. I was born whole. No part of my body is missing. I am not sick or crippled. I breathe freely, without machines. Even though I still have many things I wish to accomplish, things I haven’t achieved yet, this alone is more than enough reason for me to be grateful.
I have seen how people in those conditions suffer. Sometimes, they just wish for peace, even if it means death. Some need surgery but can’t afford it. Life can be very unfair. There are things my eyes have seen that my mouth can’t fully explain. That alone makes me realize how blessed I am just to be alive, even if it’s just for a brief moment in this world.
Another thing I am grateful for is my family. Not everyone has people they can call their own. Some people are alone in this world, with no support, no love, no one to stand by them. But I have my parents and my siblings. Even though life is not perfect and we have our struggles, the fact that we are still together means everything to me.
I am also grateful for the little progress I’ve made in my life. From learning tech skills and looking forward to opening my own small shop, it may not look big to others, but to me, it means growth. It means I didn’t give up, even when things were hard. There were times I felt lost, times I didn’t see any clear future, but somehow I kept moving.
If there is one thing I would always be happy about, no matter how the rest of my life turns out, it is the fact that I lived, I tried, and I didn’t give up on myself.
Because at the end of the day, life is not just about how far you go, but the fact that you had the chance to live it at all.
And for that, I am truly grateful.
Thanks for taking your time to read my post hope to see you again
