On Giving Thanks
I can honestly say I've never been happier in my life. Much of it is that wonderfully shallow happiness of circumstance, and I'm grateful for it. Yet beyond that, there's a sense that should those circumstances crumble, though I wouldn't be particularly happy about it, I would be ok, and for that I am thankful. (Though, I am rather wary, because it is entirely possible that this sense is completely illegitimate and completely dependent upon my current circumstances treating me well.)
I go to a wonderful school where I'm challenged but not stressed, I have more friends of better quality than I've ever had before or even imagined (with a single not. The other day I had a bit of an issue that I wanted to talk to someone about and it occurred to me that my problem wasn't finding someone to tell who would care enough to listen, it was choosing which one to go to.
My mind still won't turn itself off, but it's infinite musings are more productive these days, thus the increasing scarcity of livejournal entries. My mind is a far lighter place these days, not for lack of weight, but for the presence of light. I can laugh at my own stupidity and I freely recognize it and blush over it quite frequently, then life goes on.
I have no idea where I'm going or what I'm doing, but I'm perfectly fine with that.
