The reason I come here to complain is because I have nowhere else to go to complain. My parents basically say suck it up and my friends are so tired about hearing about my uncle's girlfriend. Everytime I bring it up with my grandmother, we get into a fight over it. I come here to get some unbiased opinions about things. The people on here, although I consider yall like my friends, don't really know me nor anybody that I complain about (it usually is my uncle's girlfriend). I must say, however, that I am very grateful that I have both of my parents as well as my grandparents to spend the holidays with. Not many of my friends have that. Some of my friends don't have grandparents that they are close to. Some don't have both parents. And some don't have parents that they are close to. Especially this year, I am really realising how lucky I am, not only that I have a family that I am fairly close to, but also that I am lucky enough to wake up Christmas morning and see many gifts under the tree and that I have everything I need and usually everything I want and that I am able to go on vacation multiple times a year. A week or two ago, there was a local state trooper that was killed in the line of duty. He was shot twice during a routine traffic stop. He left behind 2 kids (a daughter my age and a son a few years older than me). When I think about that family, I realize how lucky I am.
So, to sum it up, I do complain here, but I also realize how lucky I am to have everything I need and want when some people don't even have what they need.
