Giving Thanks
Okay, so I know that Thanksgiving was a while ago, but I am feeling thankful. Not only for the good things I have, but for the things I had that were good to start out then turned not-so-good.
I'm thankful for my ex, for being so weird and freaky at times, and teaching me that mental instability is sometimes overrated.
I'm thankful to my girls back at the Assembly who never realized how hard I fought to stay afloat. You taught me that sometimes the fight is a losing battle and it's better for everyone to step out gracefully, but not without a BANG!
I'm thankful to the adults of said Assembly for not allowing me to win, and pushing me to be better than I thought I could be, just so that they would listen for a change.
I'm thankful for my little brother, who in spite of being obnoxious as hell at times, has always teased me about my writing, until one day I sat down and proved him wrong.
But you see, I can be thankful for normal things too, you know.
I'm thankful for my family, because no matter how crazy and hectic my life may have been, or will be in the future, I know I can always count on them to support me in the decisions I make. Even if they don't agree with some of them.
I'm thankful for Seth, my boyfriend, who has stood beside me, and been just as loopy as me at times. He's taught me so much and I don't think I have to go into details here.
I'm thankful to Anna, who has taught me that everything I thought was originally black and white, then grey, actually is a variety of fababalous colors that makes swirly designs when you drop the paint in water! (Oh, and that being my usual random self is better than not being at all!)
I'm thankful to Alex, who in the interim of teaching, I learned more than I think he did! Plus he's just great, and no one can deny that.
I'm thankful to Aaron, for coming along and pulling my sorry excuse for a website out of the slumps and making it amazing, not unlike himself.
I'm thankful to all of my true blue friends, who can still talk to me, inspite of my craziness, random outbursts of song, and extremely X-Rated conversation at times, AND still love me for who I am!
But most of all.....I think I'm thankful just to be allowed to be me! I think back to all of the things that went wrong, and all the things that went very right, and I realize...nothing really went wrong. Everything is a learning experience, provided you know how to find the lessons!
Peace, Love, and Draco in Leather Pants!
