There’s always something.

Today, i realized how lucky i've been. Through all the lowest of lows that i have been through with my family, through all the shit nasty people has put us through, i've still been one very blessed individual.
Everything happens for a reason, right? And just today i was able to look back at my life and see how everything points to the next; how one thing leads to the other; how something that happened years ago helped me to survive the years that came next.
I got into thinking about what would've happened to us if i didn't get that scholarship… maybe i wouldn't have been able to study. It's either that or i would've been made to stop school at one point. If i had to pay for college, there would've been days when all i would have is money for transportation — and that's it. I wouldn't have been able to buy the supplies i needed if my mom had to worry about my tuition fee. But no, God gave me this blessing to help my mom. And i've never been more thankful for it.
If that happened for me and my mom then, i KNOW it could happen again for my friend now. I still hope and pray that they get through this, all of them, the whole family. And I'm still holding on to the vision of having us both there, marching on our graduation. Hold tight… I'm about to pull some strings. Please don't be angry.
