well written
i like the positive vibe you are trying to portray.

But im too realistic for my own good..
somethings matter more than others.. and if they are lacking, then i feel separated and inclined to depart from this world..

that was a really good post :) thank you for posting it. at first I thought it was really long, but I actually enjoyed reading it.
I really like the acorns that were at the bottom of the path from my college. I’d never seen a real acron before and there were loads and I just thought they were quite cool. they’re not there anymore though, my suspiscion is that the squirrils got them. ;)

Just something to think about.

A lot of people are really unsatisfied with their lives. They think that life is not worth living, that they have nothing to look forward to or no good experiences to live through.
But really, there is so much to be thankful for. So much we never even notice!
It took a group of 11-12 year old girls to make me realise that I am so very lucky, and that there are so many good things in my life which I hardly even recognise.
Here’s what they came up with:

Things to be thankful for:

You’re right. How often we forget what we do have to be grateful for.

Thanks for the reminder.

Aww, no problem! Thank you for your kind reply. I think it’s really important for all people to put things in perspective and to appreciate what they have. Even the little things in life mean so much and work to make us who we are.
And you shouldn’t get so down on yourself - you have so much worth :) Recognise your potential and embrace it.
