Love what you have!

Have you ever wondered about what if you had a different life or parents?
I do it all the time I am always wondering what if I had a celebrity parent or a friends parent instead of who i got not. Or sometimes I wonder if I was adopted and they aren’t telling me. These thoughts usually run through a lot of people’s heads at one point in time. Either when a parent has said no to something or just an argument.  People try and imagine what or who they would be like if they have different parents they wouldn’t have who they have no. A whole new path would be chosen for them.

I know I have thought about it a lot and I always wonder If my parents are really my parents. Sometimes the parents can make it seem like they aren’t there true parents. Sometimes people don’t have great parents because that’s the hands they were dealt. No one can change who their parents are but you can do what you got to do for yourself.  What I mean by that is , if your parents treat you bad you make yourself have a goal and you start trying to reach your goal and your able to live your life.

I know from personal experience that’s what I am doing. My parents got divorced when I was 2 years old. I do not remember it. I have heard lots of stories about how they were trying to get a divorce before I was born but they had to stay together because I was being born. My parents have made it clear that it was the worse nine months of their life. Or better yet my dad still to this dad claims my mom cheated on him and I’m not his child. I hear this stuff everyday about how I am just the mistake. That doesn’t stop me from living my life or enjoying what I got.

Some people have it worse than me, kids sometimes never meet there real parents or their parents kill themselves before their child is even grown. In life you got to look at it as things could be worse. Life isn’t about counting all the negatives things you have in your life but counting the amazing things you got.

For example even though I am not super close to my parents I am still thankful. They kept me; they could have given me up for adoption. I have a lot to be thankful for, I got a nice warm bed to go home to at night. I got a place to eat and I got a place to call home. Even though it’s not the perfect family I wanted it’s still what I got.

Even though my mom and I have had our ups and downs I still care and love all she does for me. She knows she had said things she regrets and wishes she never did because she knows it hurt me more then she thought. Or it’s a thought that can never be forgotten but it can be forgiven. My dad on the other hand has a small relationship with me we aren’t the best or the closest but we are family. He doesn’t approve on anything I do, or he doesn’t regret anything he says but he still is my dad and I do care about him.

What I am trying to get at is we will never be able to change who we come from. We can forgive and move on. No matter how crappy you got it, always be positive and keep smiling. Always be thankful for something your parents have done because without them you wouldn’t be here today.
