Happy day before thanksgiving, everyone! I'm so excited for tomorrow! I can't wait to stuff my face and play football and hang out with family. I've been eating super super healthy so I'm excited to absolutely pig out!
But I thought I would share with all of you what I'm thankful for this year, let me know what you're thankful for down below!
The basics:
This Thanksgiving 2012, I am thankful for:
My health (physically and mentally)
This time last year I was a completely different person in a completely different mental state. I look back on who I was and, while I'm glad everything happened, I'm much happier with the person I am now. I'm so thankful for my health in more ways than one because, without it, you're a shell of your former self.
My family
My family is my rock, my guiding light, and my stress. We all drive each other mad but love each other unconditionally. I would not be where I am today without their never ending love and support, so I am forever thankful for the amazing family that I'm lucky enough to call mine.
My friends
My friends are very few and far between, but the relationships I've made have gotten so much stronger over the past year and the people that I call friends are the greatest people in the world. I absolutely adore them with every ounce of my being, and am so thankful to have them in my life.
My education
I feel like education is something that's completely taken advantage of. While the public school system is, well, public, most people don't have access to the type of education that I'm lucky enough to have. While school is a huge pain in the butt, I would literally be nowhere and no one without it, so I am very thankful to be able to learn at such an amazing school with amazing teachers and classmates.
The opportunities I've been given through YouTube and blogging:
Let's just be honest here, I'm nowhere near YouTube or blogging famous, nor do I think I am. However, opening myself up on the internet has made me a better person in more ways than one. It's given me more confidence to be myself, to try new things, and to experience new things too. It's given me the courage to go out and express myself confidently and freely, whether it be through clothes or music.
Overall, being a YouTube and blogger has made me a better person in more ways than one, and I wouldn't have been able to do any of it without you guys. So thank you for supporting me and reading my blog and watching my videos! It means the absolute world to me.
What are you thankful for?
Until next time,
Ashley
