Sometimes I just sit back and think about everything/everyone that makes me happy, despite whatever challenges I may be facing at that moment. I’m one of the luckiest and wealthiest persons alive (I’m not talking materially now). We, humans, are so blessed with a lot of beautiful things but we fail to realize this because we are not able to see how important these things are.

Have you ever sat down to think about how much it costs to be loved by family or good friends? These people are there for our comfort and for us to fall back on when the going gets tough. Sometimes you just want to be alone, but nah..they’re there trying to find out if you’re okay or if something is wrong. It may be hard to reciprocate love when you’re going through rough times, especially when the people around you can’t understand exactly how and where the shoe hurts.

Let’s not make the mistake of pushing these people away because you’ll regret it someday, no matter how much we feel we’re good without them at that point, trust me. I’ve had my own personal experience based on this. Early last year, I’d just had my first break up ever and it was something else! I mean, I’d always wondered what it meant to be heartbroken when people just kept talking about their own experiences. Let’s say I had my own fair share of being heartbroken. So I had his really close friend that I’d known for about 3 years and our friendship was beautiful, but then I pushed him away during this period. After I was done putting the pieces of heart back together, I tried to put the pieces of our friendship together but there was nothing left to put back together. I felt really bad because it wasn’t as if he wasn’t there, he was, but I was too broken to appreciate this. I miss him.

The best things in life are free; family, good friends, hugs, good memories e.t.c. Let’s always try to appreciate this and never trade this for anything because there is no price point for these things.
