I don't take enough time to stop and say how grateful I am to have those that want my company or want to be around me. Anytime someone says anything genuinely nice to me about who I am as a person, it gives me a little hope for humanity, a huge mood boost, and a reason to return the favor.

I'm glad I know or have known the people I've known over the years and I'm grateful for every good and bad experience I had with those people because it molded me as a person to become better and to rise to the challenge as well as building history with those who rose to the challenge with me. It makes me want to do the same for others who are going through the same hardships that I went through because no challenge is easy and a little help goes a long way. Paying it forward and not letting regrets hold you back are the surefire way to be on the fast track to a better life.

I'm grateful for the people I call friends, I'm glad for the circle. You all make my life feel a little bit more worth living. C:
