Why I think my life is awesome

I always think that first step to having an awesome life is actually to just stop whatever you are doing for a few moments and just be thankful for your life. It works for me all the time. 

I might not be an awesome person, but I have an awesome life (on a second thought, I do think that I AM awesome). Mainly because I think I am quite a blessed person. 

I am thankful to grow up in a really good environment and family background. In fact, I am thankful for just being alive. I mean, people die everyday and one of them could just be me. But I am still alive today. I don't know if I will die tomorrow but if I do, I am still thankful for all the other things in life. I am thankful for having a lot of opportunities in life and I am thankful that I am aware of them and take my chances. I am thankful that both my parents are good enough to send me to study in another continent. 

I am also thankful that by having this opportunity, I get to see and learn things differently. I am thankful that I get to study what I love because I know there are people out there who do not get this opportunity. I am thankful that learning is a really fun process. 

I am thankful for the bunch of friends that I know throughout my life. I am thankful that all the friends who are close to me are really good people with good heart because I know there are people with a lot of friendship dramas out there. I am thankful that my life in Melb is good, mostly because of the good company. I always think that friends are your family when you are away from your family. And I am thankful for the friends who are like my family here. I am thankful that I am currently staying in a place much safer than in my own country (as much as I love Malaysia, I don't feel safe when walking out of the streets). I am thankful for all the freedom I get when staying away from my own country and how I can just be myself without being judged. I am thankful for all the good things people have done to me. 

I don't think I am the kind of person who has wide social circle (and recently, I just discovered my dislike for clubbing), neither I am the kind who's actually very proactive and sociable. Wtf, there are a lot of times when I just don't really care much about other people or pay much attention to them. But,, with my unfriendliness, people still come talk to me (at least I am still friendly enough to smile at them) and I am thankful for these people. My life is not super exciting that kind but I like the pace and lifestyle that I am living now, slow and steady (wtf, I sound like a retired old man), busy with my assignments and stuffs and I am also thankful for that. 

.... and I shall rush my assignments now. D:
