[UglyIsBeautiful]

Anyone in the mood for some self-therapy here? I've felt that by acknowledging the things we take for granted and listing the things we wish we had in our lives but do not helps in keeping things in perspective.

Things I'm grateful for

- My parents made sure I never lacked money growing up. I was never had any serious financial difficulties.
- My education and my career. I fulfilled my potential in both respects up to this point and I have ambitions to achieve even more.
- Forced to take piano lessons as a child. I hated it then but I appreciate it now. It's therapeutic for me. I'm grateful to be able to play when I am feeling sad.
- My interest in history and music. These two topics alone can keep me entertained for hours on end.
- Grateful that I can afford to live the way I want and where I want and how I want and still have money leftover for future endeavors
- Grateful for having three close and dear friends even though we are not in the same city but when we do see each other, its like nothing's changed
- Grateful for living in a clean, safe, and beautiful city

Things I wish I had

- met the girl of my dreams but she was unavailable
- wish i had more friends growing up. i was an awkward child who didn't really fit in anywhere.
- wish i went to a high school with more asian people
- wish i had been braver around girls growing up and developed more confidence in dealing with them
- wish i had a gang of good friends that I could do activities with
- wish i had a girl who cared about me

So how does my life sound? Now that I look at it, its not that bad I suppose. I suppose a person in my position shouldn't give up hope.

I'm grateful for...

- My family: My dad who silently put up with me all these years, my siblings who keep me in check, and my Mom who chose to die to give me strength.
- My friends whom through thick and thin has always been there for me.
- All of life's lessons that I've received so far. Indeed, what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger.
- My eyes with which I see the beauty of this world with.
- My ears with which I listen to the songs of life with.
- My heart that at times feel tremendous pain and at others, euphoric happiness.
- My tears. The only thing in this world that I fell I have control over.
- The air that I breathe, the earth that I walk on and the water that I drink.
- My better half, who inspired me and became my wings. Without him, I'd still be lost.
- Life, period.

Wish I had...

I already have everything that I could ever wish for.

Grateful for every day I get to live on this earth.

Things I want to do? More like things I -will- do / manifest.

1) Go skydiving: Rush of wind and adrenaline as you descend 1500+ feet.
2) Surf, surf, surf, surf, surf, and surf again. I'll have my own beach house some day.
3) Go snowboarding again. Have a mountainside property for easy access and winter vacation.
4) Become a well-reputed musician in the industry.
5) Become a philanthropist and pass the torch.
