LOVE MYSELF - LOVE YOURSELF

15.

I'm grateful for my life.
You know, sure, they have been quite shity things and yeah, I've had to meet some not so nice persons
But I'm alive
I bet there are thousand, no, MILLIONS of persons in this world who would make everything to live just a bit longer
There are MILLIONS of persons who would like to have a part of your body you may not like or a part of your body which you haven't even realized how valuable it is
Why did I not realized this earlier?
I mean...
I've had to see how hard it is for other persons
Just a week ago the father of a girl I know died from cancer
And you know what?
I bet she would have done everything in her power to let him live a bit longer
Maybe a day
Maybe a few hours
Maybe just a few minutes to tell him all she wanted to say
Just a moment to have him breathing like you are doing right now
I remember I once had a plaster in my foot and I only could walk on crutches because of an accident I had
And I still remember that feeling I had when I saw how someone walked in a movie or a television drama
I remember how I wished I could walk at least a little bit like all the others did
And that was only for the 1 month I had to have a plaster.
Imagine how persons on wheelchairs or persons who are disabled feel, if they have to be like that forever?
It must be a horrible feeling.
So I want to be grateful for my life
Because I'm able to breath without being connected to a device
Because I'm able to walk and run
Because I'm able to see with both of my eyes
Because I'm able to tell the persons I love that I love them
Because I don't have an illness that stops me from eating what I want
Because I am able too sleep without feeling phisical pain
Because I can move all my body as I want to
Because I can feel the wind in my skin when I run or when I ride a bike
Because I can write this without feeling pain
So I'm grateful for being alive
I'm grateful for being able to do what some persons can not
I'm able to cry, smile, scream, run, listen to the music I love, laugh, read, write, text my friends, hug, love and so much more
My actions are only controlled by myself and that means that I'm actually free
I'm free to move and do what I want to do
I'm free to make things happen with effort and passion
I'm free to live and to love
So I don't want to waste my life being depressed and feeling down
I want to try my best.
Not at something really special or anything like that
But at living
I want to give my best at living
And I truly hope you can too
I hope you are able to breathe again like you did just a few moments ago, in case you are feeling down or anxious
I hope you can laugh at bad jokes and fail at trying to cook something new
I hope you can read a book or a comic you like and feel your heartbeat going wild as you keep going
I hope you notice how great you are
And I hope you can smile a million times more
Because life is about the little things
It's when you can't stop thinking about something you like
It's when you eat watermelon in summer
And when you eat ice cream in winter
It's when you feel emotional listening to music
Or when you feel like crying as you watch a great movie
It's about failing and trying again
It's about being able to talk to someone you like
Life is about the little things
You may haven't noticed yet,
But I'm sure you will
So wait just a little longer
Because I know you will feel it too
