Dear ghost,
What I am grateful for? I am grateful for the cradle that showered me with all that they were blessed with, and of their drizzling warmth that gave me the strength to build myself. I am grateful for the laughter and music that wandered through those walls, for the constant nagging and care that taught me the resilience of close-knit bonds. I am grateful to both of them for their patience in enduring my childish ventures and unreasonable vices. It is their ties that often make me despise my indifference.I am grateful for my dear companions who understand the essence of what makes me. Grateful that they, much like me, are left confused by life. I am thankful for my comrades who thrive in the same putrid air, knowing the weight of every letter in our shared story. I am grateful for the voices that understand my haven, as their joy are similar yet so different from mine.
There are many things I should be grateful for. I just need to be brave enough to see them and strong enough to forgive—both others and myself. Because to err is human.
Yours even as I fear to be.
