Until recently, I've complained a lot about my life, but now there might be a huge earthquake where I live, and now I wish I could have appreciated everything more. Good luck with everything!

Your mango metaphor really made me think… I didn't really realize how ungrateful I am sometimes until now. But mostly, I do appreciate things for what they are… things are kinda rough at home so when someone smiles at me at school or just does a simple gesture of kindness, I definitely appreciate it. I wasn't really like that until the problems started. But I guess that's just human nature. Anyway, take care! Sorry that school has you so busy… I feel the same way and it’s tough.

But yeah, life is a misunderstood journey we all go through and I'm guilty to not appreciating things. Such as an exboyfriend that recently passed, I didn't start thinking of him nor appreciating him until he passed. Now I feel like crap. Now i'm appreciating the little things people do for me.:sad: I completely understand you Miss Maria! :upsidedown: School seems like it’s swamping you, but its a good experience and life; remember that.

Lol, that was my 'rapspeak' for a second. And philosophy point is very well made. People truly do not appreciate everything they have. Even me. I know it's hard to believe. :cute: Love the layout. no seriously, you’ve got mad skills. Lol, that was my ‘rapspeak’ for a second. And philosophy point is very well made.

Being raised in a financially lacking situation, I'm very familiar with this concept. It's most often phrased as "Only those who have wanted will give to those who are in need." It seems that humans in general have to have their minds opened by a bad experience to know what a good one is. More than likely, no one is exempt from this. It's a learning process, one of the most basic. That philosophical point should strike a chord in every commentator, hopefully.

It's eating up most of my teenage life. About that philosophical point.. I agree with you. It's like.. appreciating the ugly ones because without them, you'll not know what pretty is. On a more serious point, it's just the same as making mistakes. Without making mistakes, we will never learn, we will never know what the right thing is. That's totally human nature. Nice post. ^^ ♥ Nika Hi there! ^^

For example: me. :dead: thanks for the wake up call. :biggrin: I guess there are people out there who take things for granted without realizing it.

Us humans, we're just hard to please. We're only happy when we compare things to something that sucked. Otherwise, something great might not be good enough cause what if something is better? We suck hah. But anyway, good luck with Stockton boy. I hope you have a much better experience here. Trust is #1 importance, and I'm glad to see you have that with him :) It does make sense and you’re right. Us humans, we’re just hard to please.
