I am subscribed to the Gratitude Question of the Day and I get daily emails asking me two questions to ponder. Today I had two interesting ones……
What are you worrying about?
I’m worried about my friends, and my friendship with my friends. I am worried I don’t have any real friends. I am worried about tomorrow. I am worried I will never find out what I am meant to do; I am worried about my future. I am worried about my Calc test on Tuesday. I am worried about all of the people in the world that will never understand what I want them to understand. I am worried about all of the people in the world who will never care. I am worried about the environment. I am worried I will die. I am worried about all of the people that are in pain right now, and especially those who no one else seems to care about. I’m worried my alarm won’t go off in the morning. I’m worried I won’t make the difference I want to make on the world. I am worried about the darkness. I’m worried that I’m not going to be happy.
What do you love about the present moment?
I love that I am alive on this earth to have these worries. I love that I have a sister and a mother and a father and a dog lying at the foot of my bed. I love that I have a Christmas tree downstairs with some presents already under it. I love that I just had pesto for dinner. I love that tomorrow I get to play field hockey. I love that I have a house, and a home. I love that I am wearing an Eagles jersey with a puffy vest and my favorite ripped jeans. I love that I am warm. I love that I am young, and that I have the rest of my life to live. I love that I have possibilities. I love that I am so incredibly lucky. I love being love.
Think about these for yourself… Have a lovely night… and Go EAGLES

Love this! I feel many of the same sentiments, being in a new place and trying to start anew when I had such amazing friends before. I often find myself turning to Skype to reach out to those I am not around any more. I suppose much of my time has been devoted towards building relationships outside of school too thought..and it is only term 1. I, and you, have better friends than we know. You’re friends are realer than you think, and either way they’re what we’ve got, right? They are REAL. But I totally get what you’re saying, Brooke.
And as for making a difference in the world, just you “love being love,” is a change in this world. You have already changed it sister, and you are going to keep being that change farther and deeper into your life. Beautiful post, I wish everyone was brave enough to share so openly. So, thank you for being so brave, and for being love, and for being change. You are an incredible human being.
I love the C. G-tude
Love,
