I've lived with depression my entire life - I feel you! I used to think being grateful for little things was trite nonsense - the sun's out? whoopdie frikkin do. Who cares? Right? But if you do something long enough and get crappy results, you finally get to a point where you understand that continuing to do it will always get you crappy results. So. What if I was actually grateful that the sun came out? I don't have to slog around in the rain, dodge folks who can't drive in the rain - that's actually a good thing. What if I'm grateful that I have a roof over my head? What if I'm grateful that this apple is really, really tasty? What if I actually look for things to enjoy rather than obsess on things and situations I don't? It's funny, growing up in a world that wasn't a constant trash fire made me more comfortable focusing on my depressive thoughts. Now I do everything I can to get away from the fire that is everything just to focus on the little things that bring joy. Joy doesn't have to come at a premium. Your pets are adorable 😊!
I don't think I have "little things", I have necessary things that I'll always cherish. My sisters, always helping me with understanding women, and putting me on to fire music, my ex for supporting me still in my music endeavors, or just anything, reminding me that I'm a good dude, that we will both find someone on our timing, and being able to move forward amicably. thankful for the few male friends that remain, that basically became brothers, to know they know they can rely on me, and vice versa. I guess the only little thing would be social media, that got me introduced to so many talented ppl, ppl that may support me, or even just appreciate my support, showing me a great expanse of creativity and love. Yeah, can't really say anything here is little in retrospect so shoutout to the big impacts🙌🏾🙌🏾.
I love getting dressed up and going to the movies by myself and even going out to dinner and just enjoy ambience. I love listening to jazz while taking walks and strolling through art galleries and especially museums as I transport myself into everything I see ( very vivid imagination). I love listening to music and just thinking and being thankful no matter what’s going on in life. Those are a few of the little things that come to mind thank you for sharing and reviving.
I saw across the spider verse as well and Hobie is my favvvvv. I want and had to get his funko pop and I gotta see the movie again
1. A view to the lake from my balcony.
2. The birds sing in the morning.
3. My dog is always happy to see me, no matter what.
4. My bed is so comfortable.
5. There is a swimming pool in my apartment complex and I can swim every day.
6. My morning hot Matcha with milk.
7. I can drink my tea or coffee on my peaceful balcony with my nice plants.
8. I live in Texas and it is warm here. Even winter is warm for me - I enjoy every day.
