Do you consider yourself lucky?

yes and no, yes because they are people that love me and i love them back, but no because all my life ive been sick no even knows whats wrong i'm in pain half the time and depressed the other time i can't even control it. and pain killers do nothing to me i have OD on them manytimes just so the pain wouldn't be as bad so i could go to school they don't even make me high or anything and its weird cause i have thrown up blood so many time i don't even notice when i brush my theeth that the sink is full of blood. but even with that i would never give up my life for anything cause its mine and i am loved not by tons of people but but the ones that matter not to mention my unnatral ablity to learn anything and high IQ i am 19 but i have the know how to do about 50 differenct jobs and understand anything i am told or thught within a week doesent even matter what it is. yay me

I can tell that I wasn't just a lucky 1 but I am Blessed...(i know that life has it's meaning( facing problems ,crying, laughing , spending time with the family,) though there were times of trouble in this life ,trying to survive is still worth while for i believe that in everything I LEARN how to live and become a better 1...

I do not even know what to say. People around me always say that I am lucky, I always guess things, if that is luck then I am lucky.

I am lucky and I'm thankful because.. -I was given the chance to live, while others get aborted even before they see the world. -I had enjoyed my childhood, while other kids work instead of play. -I was given education, while others are not privileged to go to school. -I was loved by my parents, while other children get dumped in garbage cans. -I have a roof on my head, while others have only stars and streetlights on their heads -I eat 3 meals a day, sometimes even 6, while others have to scavenge through garbage to even eat one. - I have a son, while others are not blessed to have one. - I have work, while many are jobless I can go on making this list, for things I am thankful for. I don't believe that if you are poor, you'll die poor. It is in our hands, on how to turn our life differently.

I think I'm lucky to be alive because my dad got a vasectomy before I was conceived but it turned out to be botched. I however have not been lucky in life. I almost lost an eye a few years ago by getting hit with a dinner roll while waiting dinner. I lost vision temporarily and everything was pink. My friend suggested I go to urgent care to find out if I had a corneal abrasion and I waited for two hours to find that out. The doctor didn't even test my unaffected eye, which turns out also had a corneal abrasion from my contact use, not the accident. I got antibiotic ointment and a patch and was told to come back in a few days. Three days later I decide to call an ophthalmologist because I could just walk to her office as opposed to asking for a ride to go to urgent care. It's a good thing I hate asking for rides because when I told the secretary why I was coming in she handed me over to the doctor who said to come in right away even though she was very busy. I go and she inspects my eye telling me I have bleeding in the anterior chamber from a hyphema or a tear in the iris and blood at the bottom of my eye from a suspected retinal tear. She sends me to a retinal specialist right away fearing that my retina will detach because of my extreme myopia (it's already stretched so thinly). I get emboldened to actually ask for a ride and arrive to another office of old people. I go in and get my laser eye surgery saving my unfortunate eye. Now I'm probably going to get cataracts and/or glaucoma at an early age because of this injury. I also don't consider myself lucky because I have lost the genetic lottery having schizophrenia (the incidence of which is 1% in the normal population).
