Default Things you take foregranted

I realized how much it would suck to be without a hot water heater after my isn't installed this morning and I attempted to take a shower.
This goes the same for not having my S after blowing a tire and having to wait for the replacement this week. Name off any items you don't immediately realize that you take foregranted and are thankful to have, I'm lucky to have everything I have and I acknowledge that not everybody is as fortunate.

Being born a US citizen and what a privilege it is to be an American. We will all soon find out how much we take that for granted.

Just spent a week in Mexico. It was nice, but look at how many people live down there, and you realize how goosd it is here and why people sneak in all the time.

It was not a giant slum or anything, but we have it easy and complain all day long.

I also forgot to mention that i'm lucky enough to be able to pay my bills (even though i'm not rich lol), have a decent job (as compared to my last one), and I wake up every morning to a warm house and clean clothes. Simple things.

To be able to sit, sleep, or do whatever in my house and feel safe, knowing that it's my personal space in the world that nobody else can touch.

I found out that a ground-floor condo in my building was broken in to over last weekend and lots of things were stolen. Last night I was slightly uneasy about that (I'm on the second floor) and decided to lock up my balcony door overnight. Quite frankly it was more for the safety of my roommate than myself, because if someone did climb up they would come upon her bedroom first.

most people take liberty for granted.. probably why they don't seem to give a shit that's it's systematically being taken away.
