Sweven

All throughout my life, I had fascinated about a life where I would finally be happy. Where everything would be perfect and I would be eternally happy. Yes, that is delusion in its purest form. However, recently, I understood that we all are so stuck up on making things perfect, that we often times forget that there are little, every day things that are already making our lives absolutely perfect for us! Because, after all, perfection by every means, is never desired.

So, here are 500+ things I am grateful for, and I hope these are things that you feel gratitude towards too. Some, if not all!
