appreciate

By Sheryl - 3:11 PM

Sometimes, the things we take for granted are the things that someone else out there is praying for. Someone else out there is begging to be given a chance to have the things we take for granted, the things we don't appreciate.

I would never in life imagine myself being visually impaired - having to be in darkness and nothing else. I never appreciated the light as much as I have, till the day I put on blindfolds and walked around the school campus for 15 minutes. I was led by Crystal and Dorcas around the school campus for 15 minutes, just a mere 15 minutes and I felt like I was completely handicapped.

I couldn't walk as fast as I used to, I couldn't even trust that the next step I took wasn't gonna send me tumbling down a flight of stairs. Sure, they were around to guide me and tell me where to walk. But I couldn't trust them, I couldn't trust myself. After the exercise, I realized how much I've neglected my sight. How I don't appreciate it as much as I should, just because it's a norm for me to see the things around me without troubles.
