Another year ends. Though this year wasn’t the best of years I’ve learnt a lot. Due to COVID I haven’t really had the freedoms I used to have, and that has reminded me that I have many things to be grateful for.
Throughout my life I have had many privileges, and most of those I’ve taken for granted, due to the fact that those things were basically the normal for me. Things like going to the movies, eating from restaurants, and many other things are all things that I really liked doing, but wasn’t really too grateful for them due to the fact that it was, like I said before, kind of normal for me.
Surprisingly, I even miss going to school, which I guess you could say is kind of odd. The reason I miss school is because something as simple as seeing my friends every day is something I really miss, and also just getting to mess around with them and pull pranks on people.
Our current situation has probably also helped many other people realize how many things they have to be grateful for. All in all I have many things in my life that I should be grateful for, especially seeing my family on Christmas.
