This is a thread for people who want to say thanks and be more grateful for the good stuff in their lives!

Anonymous 04/10/21 (Sat) 04:47:24 AM No. 779935

I'm grateful that, even if the lolcow mods and jannies are trigger happy and sometimes can make dumb choices, they at least aren't facebook AIs.

Love this
I am very grateful for my family; although I dislike my sister, my parents are amazing and my brother is cool. I am so luck to live as comfortable as I currently do.
I am also amazingly grateful for my boyfriend of 7 years, he's a great person.
I also I'm very grateful for my cat, she's old and grumpy, but I know she loves me and is also grateful to not be in a shelter anymore, which I am also grateful for.

I'm grateful to not be in a shit country let's be honest

I'm also aware of how lucky I am despite our family situation (we're kinda poor), it should be better but also it could be worse. I eat everyday just fine, I have the internet, access to water, can even buy myself some cute shit every once in a while. Like wow I should be more happy about myself.

I'm grateful for my job, my wonderful boyfriend and the fact that he's relatively happy, my home, my small collection of friends. I'm grateful to wake up everyday in a house with only two other people and a cat. I'm grateful that the garden is doing okay.

I'm grateful I had the luxury of avoiding abusive scrotes and exploitative workplaces thanks to having decent parents that didn't kick me out when I turned 18 like it happened with some of my friends, so I didn't have to improvise my life by the seat of my pants, because I'm sure I'd have made the worst possible choices.

I am grateful for myself that I woke up with 5 h of sleep and that I try even though I wanted to carve the words whore on my forehead and drown myself in the toilet bowl. I went to work even though I didn’t shower for 2 days and I arrived late (it was to sign the contract. I worked my ass in the store even if it was just for 2 hours. I filled boxes in for the online orderings and they kept coming. I completed the task without taking breaks. I will never show up late at work and I’ll help the store out. I am proud of myself that I’m listening more to others and not just narcissistically to my own thoughts. Also, I’m grateful for chicken filet sandwiches at subway. And I’m grateful for strawberries and tiny tiny tomatoes. I hope everyone who feels candy is too high on calories can afford the taste of cherries and strawberries.

Yeah I am not white I used to be like you guys too. There is always an economic crisis and it’s always an excuse for people to not want to grow up in all cultures though. It may sound harsh but this slacking off doesn’t work in the real life I learnt the hard way. I really wish I worked in retail at 15 on biweekly saturdays or other random days when available. It was the gateway to leaving the house at 18. Have your parents support your education at college instead.
>>780203
Yeah I know that in some toxic cultures it’s ok. But honestly I wish I took the independent pill sooner. The scrote meme is bollocks. Just don’t be materialistic learn to be responsible and you won’t need a m*n to share incomes with.

Toxic? It's simply not feasible unless mommy and daddy are opening their wallets. The average 18 year old where I live is following full-time education. A part-time job is nowhere near enough to pay for education, rent and living costs and a loan from the government doesn't cover it either.

What? Parents letting you stay living at your childhood home while going to college is toxic? That's the usual situation here for 18-21 year olds, unless you move across country for schooling. It's not slacking off to have supportive parents, I feel like people tend to romanticize "the struggle" if they had to flee from a bad home environment or just hated their parents.

>parents should pay for education
That’s where mommy and daddy is for, to be financially responsible for you up to the age of 21.
A loan + part time job will cover the rest btw. Get a small shithole room. It’s hard work. But yeah. You work hard in life just like your parents did. It’s “laughable” that even though most people are big babies and leeched off their mommy and daddy they are exactly the ones that still get abused by the partner that has the most income because of their emotional immaturity and innocence/autism.

Living alone forces you to learn a lot of life skills you very often dont have to learn when you live with your parents, such as managing your meals, your shopping, cleaning everything etc In the future that person instead of going to school and having it paid by the parents will be going to work and having this paid by the employee, so the only new thing they'll have to learn how to manage their own money, but everything else will be already well practiced; so I think it's unfair to say it's not an important step toward independence and adulthood.

Yeah, but it looks like a real photo was converted to a GBA resolution and used as a pic on a continue screen (IDK how to explain it better, but it's same as Aragorn in pic related). I could be wrong of course - someone could have faked the screenshot, but I don't think it's 'iconic' enough for the fact. Seems like a legitimate screenshot from a game that is being repurposed as a meme

I love the neighborhood I moved to last year (thankfully right in the early stages of the pandemic). It's full of old historic houses with tons of character and people actually care about maintaining their property. There are many cute gardens, decorations and best of all, friendly cats. It's also in a convenient location where I'm only about 3 min away from several parks and cozy neighborhood restaurants and bars. I am definitely living in an area that should be outside of my price range, but I managed to snag one of the few reasonably priced units in the area - one that is quiet, private and has lots of natural light. The last place I lived in was basically a cave and I can't explain how much simply being able to see the sun has improved my mood. It's beautiful outside and I can't wait to go for another walk this weekend.

I'm grateful for my boyfriend. My car broke down today at a busy intersection, literally dead stopped. I eventually got it on enough to get to the nearby autshop (small town so it was like less than half a mile) but it drove like hell the whole way. I was near his house and texted him telling him to meet me at the shop cause I needed a ride, and he immediately was there for me and took me out to get lunch and some dessert for me and my family before dropping me at home. He always comes to help me when I need him and goes the extra mile to make me feel better with gestures like buying my lunch or getting me flowers and a card. I love him very much.
