A List of Things I’m Not Thankful For
My ungratitudes for this year
Every year, Thanksgiving comes around and ultimately we come to a point where we’re expected to say what we’re grateful for.
This year, I’ll tell you what I’m NOT thankful for.
I’m not thankful because my dad isn’t here celebrating with us.
I’m not thankful because Thanksgiving is just another day now.
I’m not thankful because it used to be a celebration with family, and now it’s not.
I’m not thankful because every holiday is a reminder of all the people we lost.
It’s a reminder of loss. Holidays used to be an exciting time where all my family got together. But now? It’s a reminder of everything lost and broken in my family. A unit once so together has fractured into dozens of pieces. Now, today is simply Thursday.
On a happier note, there are plenty of things to be grateful for.
