What I Have

Well, I got my family, their infinite love and support, I have good friends, I have old letters, and my books, and my piano, and my pen. I have tons of stories, thousands of memories, I have music and movies to watch. I have my blog, and my moles, and these hands. I have experience, and freedom, and independence. I have two feet, and ears, and eyes, and long black hair. I have a few talents, and a deep way to love. I have forgiveness, and kindness in my heart. I have a heart. I also have a job, and I have challenges. I have my pillow case and a confy bed. I have Hello Kitty socks. I got a condo and a pain in the butt sometimes. I have amazing kids in my family. I have money in the bank, and a good fico score. I have a lot of songs in my head. I have ovaries, and although they are deffective, they still work. I have a brain, and I can tell you I have electricity within me, I feel my heart pumping. I have no scars in my body but I have a few in my soul... I have a bunch of tears in that good ol' bucket. I have awards. I have a passion for dance, and a love for my culture. I have traveled. I have memories of the homeless kids that I grew up around. I have friends who live in homes where the floor is dirt, and the walls are cardboard. I have a past. I have friends who deceived me, and people who hurt me. I have the strength I gained through my years. I have visions of a happy future. I have a spirit which is healing. I have the advice of wise individuals. I have the light of God in my life. I have good intentions. I have fears. I have a list of things to do before I die, and I've done quite a few of those things on my list. I have goals. I have dreams. I even have a few plans. I have emotions, and I have some control over them... but not perfection (that, for sure, I don't have). I have you, my challenge... my challenge to become a more aware individual. I have anger too. I have a map of how I'm supposed to guide my life... and I have faith. I have a story... and I have a past, yes... but more importantly... I have TIME. I don't know how much... but I know that every day I open my eyes, there lies a new opportunity for me to become a better version of myself. I have time to make decisions and time to learn from mistakes. I have time to sit here and ponder on these things... I have time to breathe and to let it all out. I have time to release the stress and the negativity of my days... and pour it all out, and leave it all behind. I have this... and I have so much more... I have way more than I deserve. I have more than I know. I am thankful for every last thing and piece of me.
