You're alive.


Put your hand on your chest. Do you feel that beat? It's called your heart. 
Congratulations you are alive! You have outlived the 150,000 people who die every day in the world. That should make you feel pretty cool. Why is being alive not celebrated every day?
We all forget how lucky we are and we take living for granted.
You didn't get the newest iPhone? Aww man.
Your boyfriend dumped you? You're kidding!
You feel like you have no friends? Join the club.
What about those people living in third world countries? They don't have a phone at all. They might not have any family or friends anywhere. Yet they still manage to make it through life, day by day.
There's people suffering from cancer, people living in hospitals fighting for their life.
You don't know how lucky you are for the health you have.
Stop thinking about what you don't have. Or what you wish you could have. And appreciate what you do have. You're still alive. Celebrate it. And cherish it.
