What am I grateful for today?
This rain that got me through summer without a cooler?
The people whom i know in my heart that care about me
Or the people who unknowingly taught me life lessons?
I am grateful to realise that life is filled with trying times
To live through them and made a painting
So that 2020 didn’t end up being too harsh.
What am I grateful for?
The person who called me out for being unhealthy,
And made me fall in love with exercise.
People whom I found intelligent
And made me as curious as they were.
Photographers with beautiful pictures
Who made me believe in what I see and what i click.
Am I grateful today sitting back in my chair?
For the memories good or bad, with people
So I can remember I was never alone.
I don’t know what comes in the category of being grateful for
Is it for the people who stood up for me
Or people who let me down just to make me stronger?
I guess i am grateful for this health I have
This shelter i have, the family I have and friends of mine.
I am grateful for what I have become today
I am grateful for everyone who ever spoke to me
Made me feel special then, and now when I look back
Made me feel special again.
I will be grateful to you for reading this
I will be grateful in future for writing this
I will be grateful to have people like you with me
Be it now, be it later.
Even today I am grateful that you all exist.

I feel like words surround me and art finds it’s way through me, it’s forms..unexplainable.
