im thankful for a lot of stuff this year.
for my dog becky, who i had to put down a couple weeks ago. she gave me almost 15 years of an unconditional friendship. i loved her so much, that i cant even fathom the idea of having another pet. as much as i love them, it hurts too much to let them go, and i dont know if i can go through that again. i miss you so much becky, there will never be a replacement, and you will always be my number one! <3
for the new vera, who is learning how to accommodate, and how to accept things for what they are, instead of wishing they were something else. for the slow but sure recovery process of a broken heart and a broken spirit. for learning to let go, and knowing when things arent right. for no longer settling for something that obviously wont work. for building my confidence that i lost a long time ago. for the motivation to lose weight and actually keeping it off, going down a pants size, losing 15 lbs! :) (that i will probably gain back after today) for willpower, and for not caring what other people think. for being upfront with any new person i meet, and not sugar coating. i like the new me, and i just want to further work on myself and get stronger. for learning that i dont really need anyone else, i only need myself.
for the new people in my life. i've finally learned that i can be fun. people hit me up all the time wanting to hang out, its amazing. i love being around good company, and i love making people laugh. and they must love that back, because they always wanna hang out! :)
life is good right now. i just cant wait till im making big $$ and living on my own someday. and when i can afford to have a car. when i can be set. its taken 23 years for me to feel as good as i feel today about the things in life...and i know its all the bad things that have made me appreciate it, so i regret nothing.
