Grateful for Life's Experiences and Reminders: Reflections on Family, Relationships, and Success


Attending my cousin's graduation was an experience that I am truly grateful for. During the ceremony, I felt a sense of flow and excitement, and being surrounded by so many people allowed me to connect with myself on a deeper level. The energetic movements in such a large space seemed to make my mind move quicker, and it was a valuable opportunity for me to learn to ground myself in the moment and make quicker decisions that align with my authenticity.

I'm also grateful for my youthful appearance, which is a reflection of the way I have been taking care of myself metabolically. External references and influences remind me of the work I still need to do as an individual, as well as the progress I have already made.

Even though I am not currently in an open relationship, I am grateful for the concept of open relationships and the idea of being open and authentic with others. It is important to me to be true to myself and my values in all of my relationships, whether they are romantic or not.

I am grateful for my family, both blood-related and chosen. My cousin Erica has been a significant support system in my life, and her presence and love remind me that it is okay to express myself and be who I truly am. I am also grateful for the reminder that success comes in many forms, both big and small, and it is important to appreciate and acknowledge all of them.

Finally, I am grateful for the people who call me family, even though we are not genetically related. This reminds me that family is not solely based on genetics, but can also be chosen based on a sense of connection and togetherness. It is a valuable reminder that we can create our own sense of family and support-systems in life.

Overall, these experiences and reminders have left me feeling grateful and appreciative of all that I have in my life, both big and small.

Grateful for the Challenges: Embracing Difficult Emotions and Personal Growth

I am grateful for July 13th, 2023, which was a Thursday, because that day brought about shifts in my mind. Throughout the day, I experienced tiredness, annoyance, and a series of unfortunate events, such as spilling the juice from some cans of dog food on myself. The unpleasant scent lingered throughout the day, making it a challenging day overall. Despite the difficulties, I am grateful for these experiences because they allow me to sit with and process difficult emotions.

I can use these moments as opportunities to learn and grow, and hone my coping skills for when similar situations arise in the future.

Grateful for the Path of Personal Growth: Embracing Self-Value and Empowerment

I am grateful for the progress I am making in my personal growth. It is a path that is set for me, and I am thankful for the challenges that come my way because they help me to grow and nurture my soul. In the past, I defined myself a lot contingent on the value that others gave me, and some of my worth was contingent on how much money I had in which I still struggle with sometimes. Although, my self-worth has evolved drastically in other ways. However, I forgive myself for defining my value based on how others perceive me, and I recognize that I must find value within myself rather than seeking validation from others. Money does not define my worth as a person. Instead, it is my character, integrity, and values that truly matter and will live on forever. I am grateful for the teachings, mentorship, and friendship of the Swaruunians , as well as Za'el and Arien .
