Another busy week basically finished! Although I have a lot of work to do over the weekend (and still some work I need to finish from last week...oops), I will be productive in the comforts of home. I love living in the city, but I need a break from the craziness that I have to deal with at school and just spend time with my family. Not to mention, I get to enjoy a flat screen HDTV and mom's homecooking...can't complain!
Since Thanksgiving is coming up in a month, I've decided to dedicate one post every week until Thanksgiving to something that I am most appreciative of in my life. And I can't think of a great way to begin this than with my own family!
Last year, I rarely ever went home on weekends. I was super busy with school-related obligations on campus to have time to go home, and I also didn't really want to. I just wanted to be an independent girl on my own in college. But this year, with many changes happening with my family, I feel like now is the best time to be with them and catch up on lost time, so to speak.
I may fight with my parents a lot, they may be so irritated with me often, and I may threaten to leave my house plenty of times, but they are still my family. More than ever, I realize how lucky I am to have parents who care so much and have siblings who I can inspire and guide throughout life. We may not see eye-to-eye on many things, but they are such a big part of me, and I truly feel blessed that I have a family that loves me and keeps me grounded. Sure, they have a tendency to be harsh on me in some aspects (a reason why I never felt "good enough" throughout my whole life), but it makes me stronger and I know better now that I am control in my own life. And if anything, my family has taught me that no one is perfect. They're human too. They have their flaws. No family is "perfect." That in itself is really comforting.
Without my family (the good and the bad), I'd be nothing. And I can't be more thankful for them.
