I've really noticed how people take things/people for granted. My mother raised my sisters and I to be grateful, to be considerate and understanding. Despite the many fights between my mother and I, I never take her for granted. I love my mother unconditionally, no matter how angry she makes me, no matter how much I want to leave my house. I still want to leave :), but I know if I ever HAD to come back for whatever reason, she would take me in with open arms. I truly am blessed, I have the basic necessities I need to live, plus a loving family, and truly great friends. I'm in school, trying to better myself, and a stable job. I don't require much, and I appreciate the simple things in life.
