I love writing lists. There, I said it. I have an obsession, actually. I will literally write a list about anything that could possibly be listed. I’m not ashamed of it either. So here’s a list for you:

I’m not kidding, that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I think I need to practice gratitude more often. Writing lists like this really helps clear out the mind, and make you realise how many positive things you have in life. I often forget about these things as soon as something goes wrong in my life. It’s very easy to fall back into the hole of negativity, but not so easy to pull yourself out of it.
