I'm The Lucky One.

I am ungrateful. And if you are reading this then I bet you are to. (Sometimes)

Every day I wake up and squander another day, and millions of people didn't even get to see the morning, someone I know has a friend that has been given the weekend to live. Chances are as I am typing this he could very well be taking his last breath.

All over the world people are dying and all I am concerned with is seeing a film at the cinema or buying the new Stooshe album, now don’t get me wrong I'm not saying I shouldn't do the little things I enjoy and I'm not saying people should constantly only think in terms like this, but I think it is so important that you remember there are much bigger things in life, so next time you are annoyed at your parents that they didn't do that thing you asked them or get that think you wanted, or maybe next time you pass a homeless person in the street, would it really hurt you to give a pound or two or even if you have it to spare £5, because really in the big picture that won’t affect your life to give but it will help them so much.

Maybe just every once in a while just think how good you have it, like really you and I are so, so lucky that we have somewhere warm at night to lay our head and we have people that love us.  We are lucky we have the choice at an education and we are so lucky that we open our eyes today because not everyone will be that lucky.

Saying life is short is a cliché so I won’t say that. but I will say that each day you live is important so don’t squander it. I will try to do the same.
