Thankful

Yes, things go wrong in life. But more often than not, we fail to realise that these things do bring about some good somewhere, someday. And right now, I am earnestly thankful to God for showing me time and again how the things that went wrong in my life, are actually being my learning guide to finding my way to a happy and contented life.

I am thankful that my childhood was never, that really peaceful. I am thankful, that I knew how it feels to be from a broken family. I am thankful, I know how painful it is not be able to live with a parent, when you so badly want to. I am thankful I know how frustrating it was when my parents couldn't get along or have a cordial relationship just for our peace, if not for theirs. I am thankful I know how much it sucks, to call someone else your parent when they are not.

I am thankful I realised how dangerous it can be when you become so dependent on someone. I am thankful I am able to shake everyone off and stand on my own feet, by hook or crook. I am thankful I have learnt how unappreciated it is to be honest. I am thankful I have learnt to shut my mouth and let people think and say what they want. I am thankful I know how much it could backfire when you put all your trust on one person. I am thankful I know how painful it can get when you love someone too much, especially when they don't deserve that love.

I am thankful that You kept me so happy at one point of time. I am thankful that right now, You don't seem to be able to do that anymore. I am thankful that You were a totally different person then. I am thankful that I don't see that person in You anymore. I am thankful, that I am someone who is able to forgive, You. At the same time, I am thankful that I am not that nice of a person, to forgive You entirely.

Because, in each and every one of these, I am thankful that I have learnt how to give the best, for my Little One.
