First Time.

Okay so let me just start off by saying that writing this makes me think of the twix commercial. The one where the guy is embarassing himself so he "thinks it over" with twix and then tells the girl he thought she was the kind of person who liked to "blog about her ideals". Anyways that sounds really gay so i dont really wanna "blog about my ideals" rather just say whats on my mind..

So my brother has really taught me a lot lately. This is super odd and rare let me tell youu. Lately he's been complaining and just basically saying his life sucks. And im sure every 13 year old thinks that their life sucks, but the light is soo at the end of the tunnel..they just cant see it yet ha. Basically, his complaining has made me appreciate our life more. My brother and I are fortunate kids. We always have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a roof over our heads. In addition to those things..we have everything we could possibly want or need, and thats A LOT. Im not going to pretend like ive never had a pity party for myself, but lately i cant possibly think of any reason why I should. I have great parents, great friends, and a future thats looking pretty bright, at least I hope. I eat good food, go to a great school that I wont fully appreciate til i leave, and I am just all around fortunate.

Its so easy to feel bad for ourselves. Im pretty sure everyone can find something to harp on or dwell on, but there is so much more than that. With our disadvantages set aside, we are some lucky individuals. Tonight I put on sweatpants and a t-shirt, and I baked cookies and watched a movie with two good friends. I forget how fun those little things are. Laughing at stupid movies, and eating chocolate chip cookies til you feel sick are simple things that I forget to appreciate. So my friends..this first blog is pretty lameee, but its what is on my mind tonight, im thankful..and thats just plain it. :)
