Appreciate what you have

by ellie   Jan 25, 2006


I don't understand those who can't appreciate what they have...
When you complain about not having enough food, try not being able to eat because of the lack of food.
When you spend your money onholidays, more clothes, try not having enough money for any of that, that much money would be a luxury.
When you have an argument with your parents, yes, you do hurt, but try doing it when they hurting.
When you say that you hate your dad because he stops you doing things you want to do, atleats your dad is there for you, mine never was.
When you don't want to go home that night because you don't know what your parents will say, at least you don't have to go home, and hear if there is any more news on 'your fathers life out in f**king africa'.
When your dad has gone away for one night, at least he comes home!
When you generally dont appreciate what you have...
I have a f**ked up life, but I still manage to wake up every morning, and manage to smile, and just push everything bad in my life to one side...and get through another day...

(sorry i was just feeling like this seeing as i came home and found out that my dad was engaged when he hasnt fully divorced my mum properly...sorry guys)
