Usually, when someone is accused of acting in an unfavorable way, they at least question whether the accusation has any merit. However, the idea that I am ungrateful is utterly absurd. I am so incredibly grateful for everything. So allow me to convey it, because perhaps I don't enough.
Thanks to everyone who ever comforted me when I was crying. In those moments, I truly feel love. Thank you for making me feel that I'm worth something, or even that I'm special. Thank you for being involved in my life, understanding my passion, and talking to me for hours like you have nothing better to do, because I know that there's always something. Thank you for allowing me to get to know you inside and out. I take pride in that kind of trust. And most of all, thank you for constantly showing me how wonderful people can be every single day. You definitely outshine the shitty ones. Really, all of you people know who you are. Please know that you have made me who I am, and I love you all. I know that I don't say it enough, and when I do it might seem trite. But seriously, I LOVE YOU. I know it's cheesy, but you're my angels.
And in light of my renewed optimism, it must be said that it really does take something shitty to make you notice all the beauty.
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them and they help us in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you
