Things are getting better...sometimes by small steps, sometimes by leaps and bounds. Putting this all back together won't be the easiest thing ever, but I'm on my way there and that's so much better than where I was even just a few days ago.
It's funny how me and my mom weren't ever super close in high school, but now she's the one who can always set my head straight when I really need it. My family is spectacular.
I'm the most excited for Thanksgiving Break that I think I've ever been since college started. I need some time with friends from home to catch up, talk, commiserate, cuddle, all that good stuff. Rahul's and my partay on Saturday will be fantastic. And family time will be great.
The only sad part is that Ben may not be home for Thanksgiving this year. We always knew this was a possibility since he joined the military, but this is the first time that it's actually been a reality. It will be okay, butI know my mom will be a little sad and we'll all miss him. I had a great dinner with him on Saturday, though, when he was here this weekend. It was a lot of fun and reminded me of how good it is to finally start getting along with a sibling after a long time of not being able to relate at all. I'm so proud of him.
I say this every year around this time, but John Mayer will always be my "fall" music. I didn't like his new album at first, but it's growing on me really fast.
"You know it's nothing new, bad news never had good timing.
But then, the circle of your friends, will defend the silver lining.
Pain throws your heart to the ground, Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way it should, but I know the heart of life is good."
