Thoughts 008

There was a time I couldn’t even afford bread to eat, a time when I felt utterly helpless, hanging on by a thread. But even in those moments, I was surrounded by the most beautiful humans. God truly blessed me with the best.
There was so much I always wanted to do for the people I care about, yet I couldn’t. And that frustration ate away at me. There were days when I ate sleep for dinner, and tears lingered in my heart.
Fast forward to today, and while I’m nowhere near where I want to be, I am far from where I once was. I’ve climbed higher up the ladder, and I’ve been able to bring smiles to the faces of those I call family and friends.
Today, I am reminiscing and counting my blessings, and I find myself crying tears of joy that won’t stop. I’m not yet able to do everything I wish for them or for myself, but I am deeply grateful for the joy I’ve been able to bring to those I love.
