What’s Important…

Just recently I got some Christmas money and spent some on gas and food etc…but I am starting more to realize that I don’t need all of the shit I have always wanted.  Sure it’d be nice to have but I really do not need it at all.  All I need is a roof over my head and food to be on the table.  I am realizing now how blessed I am and how much my parents and loved ones have done for me.  They have raised and taught me so many life lessons.  I am so blessed to have them around me for all of their love and support.  Some people in particular would be my parents, brother, girlfriend, and close friends.  These people mean the world to me.  All I need is them in my life, no material things, nothing like that.  I think from now on my priorities will change and I will save my money for necessary things. None of that other shit matters.  I think all of this sprung from me being broke in college and realizing that I survived with what little money I had.  When I do get a job I want to use the earnings for rent or to save up for a car, ultimately I just want to help out my parents because they have done so much for me.  They deserve to have the best and I will work my ass off in school to be able to repay them back for everything they have done for me.  I am glad they brought me up the way that they did because it has benefited me in a very positive way.  I have made it through my first semester in college and did well.  I never drank, smoked, or partied; but I don’t need any of that to have fun.  They basically raised me in a way where they let me learn valuable lessons on my own, but knew they were doing it at the same time..if that makes sense.  This post is hella all over the place, but basically I just wanted to say that I am so blessed for everything I have and the people I am surrounded with.  I am so thankful for everything…I am just upset that it took me so long to realize this.  I always felt like I needed more (materialistic items) to be happy, but I don’t.  All I need is the people I love around me, roof over my head, and food to eat.  Shout out to anyone that feels the same and if you don’t, just take time to realize everything you got and to just realize that you should be happy you are able to read this because if you can you are truly blessed just as I am.
