While we may be choosy and picky  about your clothes, there’s someone out there that has little to no amount of clothes at all to wear. (My people we must be grateful)

While we may have a car or vehicle of some sort to get places, there's someone who has to catch the bus just to get around. ( My people we must be grateful)

While we may have a family to go to for moral and emotional support and possibly spend holidays with, there's someone out there that doesn't have family at all or who may have had but for whatever reason his/her family  may have possibly molested, neglected and abandoned them. ( My people we must be grateful)

While some of us he have the ability to be in a relationship fall in love and possibly get married, there’s many people out there that will never know love or are afraid of love in order to love because of a traumatizing past. (My people we must be grateful)

The point of this story is that the things that many of us take for granted someone doesn’t have the opportunity, to live in a life called freedom, some people are held against their will, and the freedom they once may have had may may have now been taking away from them due to sex & human trafficking, home invasion, child molestation etc. This is the reason that we must be grateful for everything that we have and worked for to have because of f the many people that don't have much of anything.
