So this is the Thanksgiving post. Where you are lame and discuss the things you're thankful for.
This might double as part of my email. Those of you blessed to recieve it are getting a preview. Holinanigans? We'll see. Regardless.
This morning I almost booked a ticket and suprised a bunch of people back east. I didn't, ultimately, because it's still too soon for me to come back - I'd have problems getting back to California after having to say good bye to everyone I love again.
So what am I thankful for?
Great job, great apartment, great city, great kitten, great fish. Yes, I'm thankful.
What it boils down to, though, is that, although I've learned quite a lot since I randomly left DC about 4 months ago, the thing that strikes me the most...the lesson I hold dearest to me...is that I have such a remarkable group of friends and family that I remain close to from 3000 miles away. At first, I worried that things would be different after I left. When I left, I cried because I was leaving the city I love, but I also cried because I thought I was also mourning what I feared would be the end of many of my closest friendships and my closeness with my family. In hindsight, I was retarded. The people who mean the most to me mean even more, my family and I are cohesive instead of at odds, my best friends are still my best friends, and it's all punctuated by living with a man who I find to be so remarkable...I'm still trying to figure out what I did in a past life to deserve him.
Which is the next thing. This guy? Ary? You always amaze me and I love you. I don't need to say anymore, you know how much you brighten my life...and if you don't...uh...yah.
And I can't really brush off my job. I stumbled onto something that fits me very well and could set me on a great path. They have complete faith in me (terrifying) and so it's up to me, but I'm grateful for the opportunity.
Things feel better this Thanksgiving. Not just because of the weather. Or the fact that I'm not in IPSA. Or the fact that I'm not working at the Melting Pot. I feel better. I like myself a lot. I don't suck as badly as I'm used to. I'm not as mean. I'm not as angry. I don't get upset as easily. I have priorities. I smile a lot more. I don't have to force myself to be nice. I have a great steady paycheck. I'm a hot brunette. I'm not as paranoid. I don't smoke as much. My pot is better than yours. The color is back in my cheeks. I'm not as scared. I don't have to prove anything to anyone. I'm still surrounded by the greatest people a girl could know.
And it's 70 degrees out.
And that is why I'm thankful.
