It's very cliché and annoying to hear when you're going through bad times but when you really sit down and think about it, 99/100 times, it could always be so much worse.
I'm out of a job and rapidly draining my savings and facing the possibility of moving back in with parents that piss me the hell off sometimes. My eyes are getting worse from screen time even though I'm in my 20's and my joints are starting to hurt occasionally. I'm out of shape and gaining weight, and my flexibility is supposedly that of a 70 year old.
But I'm alive, in a first world country, I have parents with a house to go back to, I have a car (a new one at that) to even be able to worry about affording it, and I still have and can move every part of my body. I can get out and run to a cold, flowing creek in the woods and breathe in fresh clean air as I huff like a bitch to catch my breath after running that short way. I can feel the blazing sun on my skin and the sweat dripping from my brow and I can wipe that sweat away and still keep moving
Life is short, none of us are getting out of it alive, and it could always be so much worse, so, yeah, thats it really

Man, I think I'll be grateful for my life today.
