final 2024 gratitudes via /r/gratitude

i've been selfish this year. for the better part of the year i've been complaining about my job. i've just had negative things to say about people i work with and my workplace. yes it sucks. but it could've been a ten thousand times worse. i was just so tunnel visioned into my own dissastisifaction i didn't see how privileged i am.

my company helped me relocate all expenses paid. i get paid enough to afford my own space. i was able to host friends/ family without problems of space and privacy. i was able to see new cities. i was able to pick up new hobbies. i didn't worry about bills and expenses a single day this year. i didn't fall sick. i didn't have any injuries. i slept more, better and felt more at peace with myself this year.

yes work wise, it was extremely busy. there were many days and weekends i had no time for myself. i went weeks on end without life admin. not having any time aside from bare necessities. but i am learning to manage my time. lessons were learnt. life has been kind to me during a period of extreme hardship in the world. i will donate some money to a charity.
