Feeling Grateful via /r/gratitude

Hey everyone,

I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting lately especially after spending time backpacking, meeting people from around the world, and just stepping outside of my usual life. It reminded me how important it is to slow down and really appreciate what’s here, right now.

I have a big list but here are some of the things I’ve been grateful for so far:

-How big and diverse our world is

-My backpack that carried my life around with me for over 8 months

-The amount of food and things to try out there

-The kind people that you meet everywhere regardless of where you are

-The unexpected deep connections I made while traveling

-Conversations that made me feel truly seen

-Sunsets that make me pause and feel everything

-Music that lifts my mood and gets me dancing

-My journal, it helps me process so much

-Nature and its instant magical effect on my energy

-The acceptance you get back from the world for just being yourself

-The unrealized potential that is waiting for you to discover

-My passport and the flexibility it gives me to travel around easily

-My ex-toxic job that made me have enough money to be on the road for 8 months

And let’s not forget how grateful I am to find this subreddit, and people like you to share this with 🙏🏼

Thanks for reading 🤍
