Thankful Tuesdays #25 – Education

Written as part of 52 Weeks of Gratitude Challenge which I’m attempting this year.

Education

Week 25 – Thankful Tuesdays

It’s only right that when I’ve to be thanking the education I received, I should start by thanking my parents, because if it wasn’t for them, I’d not have had gone on the path I’ve traveled on in that respect. At times, I’ve traveled the path that they wished for me, but it has been a learning curve no matter what. They say that education is not just what you learn from books, so from whatever success or failures I’ve had, I’ve learnt too. I’ve learned about friendship, about happiness, about rising from the bottom of a seemingly bottomless well. It’d be unfair to not call that part of my education and be thankful for that too. So I’m happy and grateful for the education I’ve received, both formal and from life. I’d not change that no matter what.

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
