<p>(Yeah yeah I know we're all blessed compared to starving children in Third-World countries. But how do you <em>actually</em> feel?)</p>
<p>Absolutely.
I was born with all normal human features.
I was born into a family that, while extremely dysfunctional, always managed to put food on the table.
I went to an amazing high school and had an amazing four years.
I am at a good college with awesome friends, profs, and with a pretty darn good GPA 
lol.
I have a fiance and a baby dog that love me.
I’ve studied abroad once and I’m working on a way to do it again.
I have 3 amazing jobs with 3 awesome bosses, when I know many people who don’t have a job. </p>
<p>What’s not to feel lucky about?</p>
<p>^I like your outlook 
I’m glad to be myself, also. I am learning, living, and having fun.</p>
<p>Well, so far I have not seen anyone that I would rather be, so yes.</p>
<p>I am alive, and that means a lot.</p>
<p>Most parts of me, yes. For example, I’m an artist-writery person and I couldn’t imagine being like a math geek or something. I’m alarmingly aware of my flaws–some of them, anyway–and I’m glad they’re at least the controllable/improvable sort. I’ve grown up in what I believe to be a unique environment and I wouldn’t trade it for even a more privileged one.
Then again, both the worst and the best days of my life are yet to come.</p>
<p>my parents are very dear to me. i feel extremely blessed to be their daughter. i’ve been given so many opportunites, and i’ve been able to follow all of my passions. i’m very, very lucky to be me. i think. hahaha but i’m sorry that you had to start a thread like this… is there anything going on in your life you’re not pleased about? if so, i’m sorry 
… but remember, there’s a flip side to everything.</p>
<p>^aw, well thanks
i feel fortunate in a lot of ways but unfortunate in a lot of other ways. i’m lucky to be smart, lucky to be upper-middle-class, and lucky to be going back to school after getting kicked out twice for being crazy. on the other hand, i am crazy, did not have a good childhood, and have not had great experiences socially. so i guess it evens out. <3</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t I?</p>
<p>I have an amazing family. They do a lot for me and have raised me well. They do more than a lot of other people.</p>
<p>I live in a wonderful house.</p>
<p>I have a great GPA, and am intelligent.</p>
<p>I get a lot of stuff, and am very fortunate to have a quarter of it.</p>
<p>I feel at peace with myself.</p>
<p>I have a few kickass friends, and someone who I currently want to get closer to.</p>
<p>Life is great, it has it’s downpoints, but it’s still a great life.</p>
<p>Despite my American socio-economic standing, I’m well-off by world standards (a source of guilt for me, actually). I’ve had an education, I live in a good area, I have a family (though my dad has been forced to labor on the other side of the country to support us, so I’m not happy about that), and many opportunities are open for me. My life hasn’t always been the best, but there are so many people less fortunate. As for who I am, I’m pretty satisfied. I think I’m a good person, and while some of my traits could be better, they could also be much worse. I’m just really really glad to be a living, conscious being.</p>
<p>^ Totally agree with your last sentence.</p>
<p>Am I the first to say no? I’m so unappreciative it’s sad</p>
<p>I have over 69 posts on CC! :)</p>
<p>I am not happy with who I am. But I can’t change anything; I make the best of life, I suppose.</p>
<p>Yeah, pretty lucky. I have loving, intelligent parents and great friends. I’m in a good position for college admissions.</p>
<p>Of course, things could always be better, but I’m very grateful :)</p>
<p>There is no luck involved with me being myself. In fact, it was a statistical certainty that I would be myself.</p>
<p>I live in the US.</p>
<p>I live in a wonderful neighborhood.</p>
<p>I can go to college JUST ABOUT anywhere I want. (excluding Ivies and a few others of course.)</p>
<p>I have a beautiful girlfriend that I’ve known for 2 years and may marry.</p>
<p>I have an awesome pug. :-)</p>
<p>For the most part, yea. Sometimes life sucks, but I always tell myself it could be a lot worst. I can walk, breath on my own, feed myself, think for myself, have no major physical deformities, and lots more. I have two great parents (divorced, but still really great), two great siblings (some drama in the past with one of them, but still great), some great nieces and nephews, and some great friends! And sometimes, I’m not happy with the way I look or my body, but like I said before, I have no physical deformities and I’m thankful that I’m not as big a those people that have to have wholes cut in the side of their houses just to be taken out (I’m not trying to be mean or anything, they just can’t take care of themselves at that weight).</p>
<p>Sorry if I sounded cliche or cheesy.</p>
<p>^^You’re a boy?..</p>
<p>futurexecutive- Ummm yes? Why iss that surprising?</p>
