The last decade has been rough for me from a career and professional perspective and sometimes I get down and frustrated, thinking that maybe things will never really change/get better for me. Then I think of my amazing parents who've done so much for me and all of my really close friends, plus awesome things like videogames, that I would have never gotten to experience had I never existed.
Invariable come to the conclusion that as bad things seem, I really do have a lot to be grateful for, even if for certain reasons it doesn't feel like it.
