Are you thankful for all the things that shaped you?

The good, bad, happy, ugly and mad. Are you thankful for them contributing to who you are right now?

Above the fray.
No, and I question people who say "it made me the man I am". I had a great upbringing, with parents whose personalities balanced out. The outside environment we came up in was fukked up at times. Didn't notice/realize it at the time because that's all we knew, and we grew up around people experiencing the same things. That shyt traumatized us in some ways, and would have prefered to not seen/experienced that stuff I did. And I was an indoor kid on the academic track. I can imagine the trauma that kids who were outside experienced.

am going through it right now. i'll let u know at the end of this storm how i came out:francis::unimpressed:
I understand that. November is a hard month for me because that's when my baby sister passed away but these past two years I'm not really sad like I usually be. And I don't have resentment anymore

I cant say I'm thankful but I'm in no way upset and I understand the degrees of a spectrum, life delivers to us.
Once I got to really learn myself and be honest with myself, I understood some of my most revered obstacles. Life wasnt kind for me, I have stories for days, some sound like fiction but experiencing these things is what ultimately has me on the path. Without the good, bad, ugly experiences, I wouldnt be the person I love today.
A lot of people are shocked when I tell them I'm not college educated and that I actually dropped out of HS. Raises by a single mother with 7 kids but I had not seen my dad since I was 3,4. Still moved to the stateside from Virgin Islands and lived in 3 different states before I was 18. Never had a uncle, older brother, nor male figure around.

Still I work from the comfort of my own home
And actually just recently purchased a new home in a great community
Where I have my wife working alongside from home, raising our son. So Im greatful for life but not really much thankful for everything I've experienced
