Unbelievable.

The concept of unbelievable or extraordinary happenings in one's life is quite a complicated and diverse thing to think about. Most people see their lives as filled with the ordinary and every day things. They think everything in their life is entirely believable. I am one of those people. I thought and thought for a while about what I was going to write about for this blog. And I couldn’t think of a single thing. I would come up with an idea and then think "Nah, that’s totally believable." Then, I came to ask myself, "What exactly determines what is or is not believable in today's world? Does it vary between person and person?" That got my mind running with many other ideas. Maybe, what I found to be believable would, in fact, be entirely unbelievable to another. So, because of this, I have come to the conclusion on what I will talk about in this post: My support system. Everybody has family and friends. But maybe their families are split or don’t speak anymore. These people may suffer in ways other people don’t understand. I am blessed to have a family who loves me and fights for me every day. My mom is my rock, who fights for me and my health every day of my life. She will go to war with anyone for me. She is always there to help me sort out my problems, listen, and be a shoulder to lean on. My father is my comedian. He is always there to cheer me up and provide comic relief. I can easily sit with my dad and talk about nothing and cry from laughing so hard. My brother is just like any other sibling. We fight and bicker, but at the end of the day we love each other. We would go to bat for each other, and defend one another to the death. I'm blessed with countless cousins, aunts, and uncles. Some are "fake" and others are truly blood related. My friends are what pull me through. Their effortless love and support is beyond words. They provide with happiness and laughter. They are the foundation of my courage. Now, what is so unbelievable about this? The truth of the matter is, some people do not have friends and family as I do. Some kids are stuck in the middle of a divorce, or forced to pick sides in a fight that they have no interest in. What most people don’t realize is that we have blessings in our everyday life, even if they've been there forever. It's time to stop and realize what you have and stop focusing on what you don’t.
