crazy thanks!

There's so so much in my life to be thankful for. First off, I thank my friends. They make life ten times easier. Without them I wouldn't have many reasons to smile. And my family. They're always on my side, even when I'm wrong. They don't pressure me to be perfect, only to try harder and do my best. Sometimes I wish they were in my life more, maybe I'd be different. I'd like to thank the money my family has. It may sound narcissistic but without money I wouldn't have a house or clothes or food or any meaningful material thing. I guess I should be thanking the jobs we have instead.
I love Thanksgiving. Even though we have it in my house and our dining room is small and we pack twelve people at the outrageously long table. And my step-aunt comes, and she always drives my aunt and mom crazy. And doesn't help with dishes. But none of that matters. It's just that we're all together for once. And that's important.
So I'm thankful for the craziness of Thanksgiving.

money

I strongely dislike my job but it's money, right? Well, I'm to the point where I don't care about making money anymore. I have to quit or I'll probably have a mental breakdown.
My work is pretty vigourous; stocking shelves, cutting my fingers on the edges of the shoe boxes, cleaning everything within reach, and dealing with cranky old ladies. I miss my old job, which was at the waterpark. It was a million times easier then this new one. Plus I had fun, and made new friends. I'm not really interested in making friends with the cranky, too serious older people I work with.
I can't stand it. And when I'm done with work, I feel like I need to treat myself in some way. So I waste the money. I bought new jeans, new outfits, and a bunch of food. But no matter how much money I make, I don't feel like it's the place for me.
There's not many job opporunities in Fremont anyways. All the good jobs are already taken, and all the unfun ones are open. I hope that I can quit my current job and switch over to some place actually more exciting, a place where I'll actually sort of like the kind of things I do day to day.
Does that place even exist?

Hope!

I've always thought hope was a pretty word, and, to me, it's the reason we live. Without hope people wouldn't have reasons for doing what they do.
If you hope to provide a better life for your children, you'll treat work and life seriously.
Hope is the reason we keep working, keep striving.
I hope that I'll become an author someday. I'm passionate about it, and I work hard writing my books, being sure to insert the best words, and express my opinions to the fullest.
Because I'm full of hope, I'll keep doing my best until my book is published and in the hands of every person who knows how to read!

believe

I believe in a lot of things, like most people. Like I believe that people should always get opportunities. Without opportunities, no one would even get a chance to follow their dreams. If someone doesn't get an opportunity to get a job, or meet someone, or express their feelings then they'll never be able to do anything.
It makes me sad to think that people never get the chance to try. How will they know if they're able to do something if they never get the opportunity? You can spend the rest of your life wondering if your good enough, or wondering how things would have turned out if you had taken the opportunity to try.
Opportunities are just really important I guess!
