Grateful

At times, I forget how appreciative I am of the people around me and the material things I have. Many times I forget to really appreciate my family who are so supportive and loving, there are not many people who have a family or if they do, perhaps they don't have one that are as caring and understanding. Another thing I take for granted are simple things like having a home and having food on the table, everyday people become homeless and wonder where their next meal is coming from. Sometimes I forget that not everyone is fortunate enough to be have a home or to be able to eat three meals a day, I am trying to make it a goal every morning to think about what I am grateful for and not to take it for granted. My education is also something I often take for granted, thankfully I am able to go to college which many can't say the same about. Most in my family never had the opportunity to be able to attend college, many were not even able to graduate high school given their circums...

Thankful For Family

This past week was midterms week unfortunately. Right now I am taking two online classes which include this class and an algebra and geometry class and one on campus on psychology which is a mini-session. Right now, my math class is the hardest class I am taking. It's like no matter how much I try I can never seem to understand the concept.

The biggest blessing in my life would be breaking up with my now ex-boyfriend Evan. Him and I met in February 2016 since we have mutual friends. After the night we met I never thought I would see him again but we instead starting texting and we grew closer very quickly. As time went on we starting dating and becoming more serious. Evan made me happier than any other guy has made me but also made me very miserable. I was young and naïve, I considered this my first adult relationship and thought being miserable was somewhat normal so I did not pay too much attention to it. Months went on and I my feelings for him grew, I would say I even loved Evan but when there were issues with us we never seemed to work them out. It was as if him and I wanted two very different things which upset me. I wanted him to care and to put more effort in but it seemed like everything I told him went in one ear and out the other. We would constantly fight, which was mostly one sided but I was upset over seri...
