count your blessings.

i am an extremely fortunate person.

i go to a four year university using my uncle's money, and live in a house with three of my good friends, paying the rent with money my parents have saved for me.

sure, i work hard to afford the luxuries in my life, and to get food and pay for my utilities.

sometimes i think that this makes me a great person.

i work hard, i study hard, but the fact is, i have the ability to play hard as well.

i don't have the most extravagant lifestyle of the people i know, but it's also not even close to the roughest. i have backup, if necessary. it's stable.

i don't think that i take enough time out of my life to stop and think globally.

but last night i was texting my friend sephra and she was telling me about her recent trip to a human rights and anti-human and sex trafficking conference, and it got me thinking.

for all the beauty in my life, someone else is having a harrowing experience somewhere else.

although i am not educated on the subject, i'm trying to become more aware.

i looked around online today and i found this.

i hope to spend more time each day thinking positive thoughts for these people.

i will appreciate my own blessings even more.
