Things I am not or don't have

Sometimes it is difficult to realize what we got until we lose it. And for the most of the part, we see what we don’t have.

But sometimes what we don’t have or are not doesn’t always mean a bad thing.

I am not or don’t have a lot of things.

Some of these things are big, and some of them are small. But all these made me realize what I do have, and that I shouldn’t always look at things I wish I had, but also at things that I don’t have that I wish I wouldn’t have. And I’m lucky that I have more than 100 on this list.

I’m grateful for what I already have. And also what I don’t have.
