You know, emotions are very hard to write about. It always seems like there’s just not enough words or enough space to adequately describe what an experience felt like. Now if writing about emotions is hard then imagine putting the correct words to the feelings.

What I mean is that people misunderstand things all the time and one of the easiest things to misunderstand are your feelings. Feelings can’t be taught as they are felt and how we come to know what certain feelings mean is due to the way we label them. Now imagine if you’ve labelled a certain feeling in one way all your life and then suddenly realized that you’ve give the feeling a wrong label.

How shocked would you be?

There are things that I take for granted in my life, some small and some large but regardless of their impact I still took them for granted. And then one day when they are finally gone that’s when I realize what I’ve lost. I don’t want to take things for granted so easily, I want to embrace what I have so that I can become even happier than I am right now.

So here’s to the start of my Gratitude Posts where I will do my best to write one thing I am grateful for each day.

I am grateful that I actually have a lot of things in mind I’d like to pay gratitude towards, hence why this has started.
