Self-Awareness
The most ungrateful person I know? Me at 16. I wish I could say I was one of those kids who grew up having gumption and appreciating what they had, but I was a totally ungrateful, selfish little jerk, if you wanna know the truth about it.
My parents gave me everything I wanted and all I did was whine about how unfairly they treated me. I recently found my old LiveJournal and I couldn’t believe how generally ungrateful and petty I was.
There is a particularly terrible entry where I complain about how my parents got my brother a new car for his 16th birthday and I “only” got a family trip to NYC where we stayed in a fancy hotel, went to a broadway show that only I wanted to see, and ate at nice restaurants.
In my LiveJournal I say that they “didn’t even bother to get me a gift for my Sweet 16” when that trip probably set them back thousands of dollars. Story credit: Reddit / [deleted]
