Thankful for the Small Things

 My Dear Unfurlers,

Gratitude isn’t always about big, fancy things. Most days, it’s the small stuff that actually matters.

Like having Wi-Fi that doesn’t crash every five minutes. Or getting a text back from your best friend, even if it’s just a “K.” Or having clean clothes ready when you wake up.

I’m not saying life’s perfect. It’s not. But I’m learning to appreciate the things that make it a little easier, a little better.

Here are some things I’m really grateful for—nothing too dramatic, just real life stuff that means a lot.

Things I’m Grateful For:

  • Wi-Fi that actually works (most of the time)

  • My phone not dying when I need it the most

  • Having food on the table every day

  • Parents who trust me enough to give me some space

  • Friends who get my weird jokes

  • The occasional favourite teacher at school

  • A comfy bed to crash in after a long day

  • That one teacher who doesn’t give too much homework

  • The roof over my head that bears me no matter what

  • Music that helps me focus or just forget everything for a while

Life’s messy, and sometimes I mess up. But I’m lucky in ways I don’t always notice. So yeah—here’s to the small wins.

Unfolding dreams, one word at a time.
