- Malaika (Though she is not necessarily a thing)
Today, as I unwillingly woke up from my sleep, the first thought that came to mind was to check my phone and see if I got any messages from Malaika. She is my girlfriend, and no I am not trying to flex, I just really want to emphasize how lucky I am to have her in my life. It is not an exaggeration when I say that one of the main reasons I get up in the morning is because of Malaika and yes, it’s cheezy, I know. I’m very thankful that I wake up everyday knowing that she’ll be there to get me through life, through homework, academics, personal problems, whatever it may be. And so I’d also like to thank the mysterious force called love that brought us together.
- A roof on my head
Though it may seem very cliche, I’m very thankful for having a house with more space than what I need, an actual bed I can sleep on, and a roof to shield me from the confusing alternation of rain and heat of the Philippines.
- Food on the table
Often taken for granted, food is a very basic and essential part of our lives. I am very thankful for the privilege of eating what I food I want, when I want to. This is because even though food is supposed to be a basic necessity, many of us today still don’t have the luxury of having food on the table, much less food in their stomachs. Many are still in the status of surviving, not living.
