I think I am very blessed.

I do not have all the money of the world or the biggest house around town but I have family and friends whom I would not trade for the Universe. I am surrounded by many people who love me…a lot. Sometimes I think I am too spoiled. 

In this life, everything I have wanted, most of them I have got it. One man once look at the palm of my hand and told me that I would receive a lot of presents from other people. I usually do not believe those things as most of them come true because you relate events to that one sentence and work your logic around it.

But lately I’ve been looking back at my life, I can’t help it, I’m going under surgery soon and I guess that is what people do when something that big hits their lives.

I’ve realized how lucky I am.

My parents have given me a lot of things, from food, a home and an education to materialistic things like a cellphone, a laptop or an expensive handbag. My uncles and aunts… I owe to them my desktop, game consoles, mp3 players, plane tickets… things that were too expensive for me to ask my parents. And there are my cousins, I can’t help but think they favor me a bit more than the ones my age and I am very grateful for that. They tease me the most but I can endure at least that. Then finally there are my little friends, they have helped me going through schools and accompanied me through frightening new experiences because seriously I am not as independent as I might seem, I am very scared of facing something new alone. 

I do not think I am spoiled because I get all the things that I want. I think I am spoiled because I believe the people surrounding me are genuinely loving me. I keep thinking that once I get a steady job, I would pay them back for all the things they have done for me. Sometimes my pride is a little hurt when they are paying for me when we go out or offer to pay half because I feel useless. I will definitely give back what they’ve done for me not because I think I owe them, no it’s not a business, it’s because I believe it is my turn to share the love.

I guess I am writing this to immortalize the good life I have had so far and also to say that I love, really, love my family and friends. Or also because of the little fear, very very little fear of the surgery I am going to have therefore I wrote what I am having in mind now.

I love you.

I know I don’t say it enough. I also know that most of the people that it concern will probably not see this but I guess it’s there somewhere in the internet.
