I always think that we take things for granted, even though majority of the time we say 'thank you', we don't genuinely mean it most of the time. I also think that we never are aware about how much our parents have sacrificed for us, I've only just recognised this when I came to England, when I was homesick and missing the support my parent's gave me. Even when you're parents might be really busy and never see you, doesn't mean they don't love you, they just express it in a different way. This applies to divorced families, although your parents might be separated, and you might feel betrayed and depressed, that doesn't mean that they don't feel guilty and love you less. Just look around you, your bed, the meals you have everyday, the education you get, are all sacrifices from your parents. We never are aware of this because you think it's just a life necessity. You're lucky because you have technology, you have a computer to read this blog, trust me, there are so many people out there that don't have an education, a warm home to live in globally. You don't know how privileged you are. Your parents could spend their money on their own luxury and pleasure, but instead, they spent it on you because they want you to live a good life.
Be grateful to your friends because they are the ones that will support and understand you all the time, they are the people that you can have fun with and let me tell you that not everyone can have this sheer joy. There are millions of people out there who are stuck in life due to bullying and depression, they have no friends and nobody to talk to yet nobody is laying a helping hand because they are afraid. So, cherish those moments when you have a sleepover with your friends because when you come out into the great big world, it's really hard to make friends because it's a competitive environment and nobody and trust each other.
Therefore, if you're thinking that you have no friends or feeling unloved, think about all the countless things you're parents has done for you (might be one of your memorable birthday parties they organised) and think about all the fun and memories you made with your friends, these make you realise that you are not alone. So tonight when you go to bed, give a hug to your parents and thank them for what they've done for you, call up your long lost best friend and talk about your memories, I'm sure these things will lighten up your day once you count the little happy things that happened to you.
