November 29. Today I am grateful for my past. I don’t have a perfect past, nobody does. There are some things I wish I could change. Things I wish I had or hadn’t said. Things I wish I had or hadn’t done. People I should have helped and more times when I should have been happy. But everything that has happened, everyone that I have encountered has made me who I am today. And that’s something to be thankful for. So even though the past is full of imperfection, regret, and nostalgia, I don’t think I would really change a thing. Because I like who I am and more importantly, I like where I’m headed. I like the person I’m trying to become. And because of the person I was, I can become that person. That person who is nicer and more patient, more loving and helpful. So today, I am grateful to all the people I know or have known, all the mistakes I have made and all the things I have learned. Here’s to all the things that happened to make me, me.
