I have illness, I was an orphan by the time I was ten years old and lost other family besides, I was beaten daily by an ex (I won't go on) yet still feel lucky for what I have now.
Sorry to get deep...

See I have gone through similar events, my father and two brothers passed away, my mum attempted suicide afterwards (luckily she survived), I've been in an abusive and violent relationship, was kicked out of home at the age of 15, had the whole homophobia thing, used to be obverweight so had that torment too which led to anorexia and so on...
But (there's a happy part to this
) I think I have been very lucky. I managed to get good grades in school, college and uni, I have a lot of amazing and supportive friends, I have been lucky enough to travel the world,I have a roof over my head, I love my life as it is and know that my future is going to be great, even there are a few more bumps along the way.
Heck there are a lot of people who have had/still have a lot worse lives than I ever will. So count myself very lucky indeed
