Here's the event*:

Write down one good thing about a person in your life (humanoid, who's alive and a-kicking) and I send you a message with a ticket to board the mini-train **.

Any person, I don't care who it is. I ain't taking names. 
You write one positive thing about them- no caveats, no cynicism, no backsies... commit to the positivity- and you get your ticket (sooner or later).

I'll kickstart with this:

I have a friend who can't stand the notion of putting things off and must- simply must- do whatever it is needs doing now. Right now. Why are we still talking about this? Right this very moment as if there's no other and will never be. 
No! to thinking things over. No! to maybes. No! to it's getting dark and mom said to be home by then. 

Jokingly bring up an idea that might sound fun around her and it's like a flame to fuel. Some rocket has been launched and before you know what's going on you're dragged in her wake, mumbling cautionary tales and your thoughts on the law and your mama. 
Like many I procrastinate so to me she's amazing and I wish her to never be slowed down by my ilk.

Games on the train: Rise & Shine, The Little, Acre, Oxenfree, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Fluffy Horde
Also I've wiped the slate clean (BL begone) so all are welcome to participate.
Also 2, you can take a peek here to see if there's something extra for you.

If you're only interested in +1 for your games library without actually playing the game- that's just fine by me.
If you want to only comment but not to subsequently be spammed by me because you're uninterested in the train- that's just as fine, so just say so.

*Winners who weren't sent a ticket will be well-wished, then swiftly rerolled.
**If you've never made any public GA I can't send you a ticket for technical reasons, but if you make one during the period of this train and let me know then I'd be happy to correct this.

I am thankful to my mom who is the only person who never abandoned me no matter how horrible I can sometimes be towards her, mostly because of my autism (understanding others is hard!), depression, etc.

Love the idea of the event, but you don't have to send me a ticket.

My SO is incredibly hardworking and very supportive, and I wouldn't be able to do anything of what I do without her. She is my partner and my best friend.

I am blessed by my mom's home cooked meals through this pandemic she has started making trying out new recipes to spice up life indoors.

I have a friend for like, 10 years or so. Even if we had a rough start, we were always there for each other.
I never met him, cause he's far away from me, but I look foward to meet him one day.
Even in the darkest times he was so supportive and full of joy.
In the distance I watched him graduate and have a job and I helped him with advice for his romantic life.
In the distance he helped me when I struggeled at school and when I had difficulties, he helped me more than enough so I could still talk to him and be safe.
We don't talk daily, but we care about each other.
And everytime we talk we feel so close to one another it's like we are family.

My wife. I'm not an easy person to live with (I'm trying!), yet she somehow manages to be patient, gracious, and extremely loving with me. It amazes me, and insipires to try harder to be a better husband to her. I have no idea what I could ever do to deserve one like her.

My grandma is a fountain of positivity and she infects everyone around her with so much happiness on mere account of being there that you might feel tempted to wonder whether she's able to feel down at all. Sometimes, when I'm really down, I call her just for pointless small talk, and that generally helps lift me up. I don't even need to talk to her about my problems; just the simple act of talking to her already does the trick. The world would be a better place if everyone had someone like that in their lives.

Not what you were expecting but:
I am very grateful to a very specific YouTuber. His content helped me during difficult times and made me reevaluate my life and adjust my priorities.
I can safely say I am a much better person thanks to someone I will probably never meet.
Yeah, I am also grateful to everyone that set up the infrastructure to make that possible, those geniuses.

My girlfriend is the only person ever who makes me feel comfortable with myself. For someone with such a low self-esteem, that is a BIG thing. She gave me the happiest days in my life. For someone with such a bad past and present, that is a BIG thing.

The Person I'm gonna mention is my GF. I could say a lot of good things about her, but the good habit I wanna share is her ability to be extremely open minded. she can think of things from different perspectives, she can reevaluate her own opinions and say honestly "you are right". It's great to have something like her, because I'm trying to be the same.

My mother. I think she's the sweetest person in the whole world and without her I wouldn't be where I am now, she is very patient and caring, and has always given me her support in the worst of times.

My girlfriend is the best friend and lover i'd ever could have. She is just too much perfect for a lazy-ass like me. She cares about me so much, she gives me, lets call it, "will to live". I feel so bad when i know i dissapointed her but she doesnt show it so i couldnt feel much worse. She gives me butterfly's in a stomach. I love her so much.

I'm extremely thankful for my partner. They've been extra patient with me ever since and ever more so now during the pandemic. I don't think I would have lasted this long without them.

I'm probably finding this too late for the train, but that's okay...

I have a friend, who I've been fortunate to know for 30 years now, who has always inspired me with his positive attitude toward others. Like many, he's had his share of REALLY bad luck over the years, but none of it ever fazed him. When I asked him why, I found his answer really inspiring. He said that every day, he wakes up and thinks to himself that today he can be upset about this or that, or he can focus on the good things in his life. If things are especially bad, he can focus on trying to make life a little better for those around him.

I've very rarely met anyone who can put this kind of philosophy into consistent practice, but he has done so for as long as I've known him, and it's just one of many things that makes him an amazing person.

I can't manage to do that like he does, but just thinking about him helps push me to keep trying. I know I'd be happier for it, and I know those around me would be, too.

I've recently met a girl that we have some common friends with and i was really inspired by her positivity and way of life. she had an accident last year where she was at a club at the time and she sliped and fell from some stairs there. she fell so hard that she had a head injury and she fainted. she was immediately rushed at a hospital where she had surgery and had to stay there for some weeks for tests and to heal her injury. the accident was so severe that it left her with permanent hear loss from her right ear, lesser feeling of taste and smell, and migraines from time to time. she now has to take daily medicine for the rest of her life. what i really like about her is that after all that bad thing that happened to her she never gave up on life, she is always happy and smilling and she even began her master degree now. when you hear stories like that your daily common problems become insignificant.
