hanging by a moment

I have a deep appreciation

For genuinely good people. People with maturity, who don’t say offensive or stupid things and can handle arguments with class. People with understanding, who don’t judge other people they don’t know or who have “changed” without finding out why. People with self confidence. I appreciate these people immensely because not enough teenagers today have a feeling of self worth, and I think it’s a very important thing to have.

I appreciate people with big hearts. The heart to forgive misunderstandings or stupid fights. I can remember every time someone has forgiven me, and those people have made a lasting impression on me by reminding me of the goodness and kindness of humanity. I appreciate people who care, who go out of their way to make things better for others.

I have a deep appreciation for people who have shown me the right way to live. My parents. Some of my friends. It makes me want to be a better person, and I will continue to try to live up to their example.
