What do you take for granted ?

[theartofwar]

Just a general question - I've tried to journal a lot recently and I'm really interested in the differences in people.

Up until a few months ago I sadly took my father for granted. He has been an enabler for me and he means well, loves me to pieces. I exploited that for years - while I never was "hey can I have mone I need dope{ if I ever go REAK+L bd=adl he'd rescue me. This recent time, when i landed on my shoulders. I really realized it all. I started asking:

what do you take for granted ?

how does it affect your daily life?

I've taken friendships for granted. I also believe I happen to be a person of above average intelligence (doesn't everyone?) and I know I take that for granted because if I didn't, I'd try harder in school than I do.

I take my good health for granted; I treat my body like shit and yet ive always stayed healthy...recently a handful of friends and family have been going though some pretty horrible health related issues, from cancer diagnoses to strokes to ALS. People that have led relatively healthy lives, unlike myself. If anyone deserves to be diagnosed with cancer ALS and have a stroke its me...I've been in the process of changing my life for the better because i finally did come to the realization that I'm treating myself like crap and at some point im going to pay for it.

I own a house with a big yard in a beautiful city- I have food in my fridge and gas in my tank a job a good marriage and two parents that i love very much..i need to remember everyday how fucking lucky i am.

I dont take anything for granted if I understood the meaning of that sentence right? Does it actually mean that what will be there whatever you should do?

I think thay my family will be there on my support whatever I might do but that has become so because I have bewn there for then too. Same applies for my SO.

I dont take my health for granted as my back and knees would get worse leading me to be on a wheelchair and my bipolar might affect our situation financially bad as I am impulsive buyer when manic and also tend to invest in projectsmor companies that on that time might end up in bad or good situations.

Never take everything granted except that sun shines each day.

^ Only thing I take for granted now MrRoot is that we all will die.

Trust in others etc - these are earned and then should never be abused. Hitting (as far as I pray I ever will find) rock bottom - has just shaken some thoughts up in my head. I tend to take almost NOTHNG for granted and I was rather proud of it. Then I put pen to paper and realized how close and loved one of the most for granted person was in my life.

Also - I suppose I take my health for granted also up a few posts !! I totally feel that man. People who've known me BLer's whove met me have seen some wounds n scars and numerous OD's still haven't phased me!!

Anyway, ty guys for responses, love to hear more

I take life for granted. There have been so many times I wanted to die and just give up. The sad thing is I see all my friends who died young..... and now they're gone but I am still here. It's just wrong.
