In no order whatsoever:
I am Grateful for:
My dad and step mom. Although I hate having to rely on them for anything at all, without them I would have no car, (or at least not one I could trust.) Skye wouldn't have nearly as many toys or more importantly clothes and diapers! Nor, would I have non-peers who I know I could count on. If I break down in the middle of nowhere with only 30 dollars in my pocket... who can I call for help? Dad and Shelly. (This happened on my trip home from FL.)
I am Grateful for:
Friends. Although I have lost touch with most of them, You all still help me out even when you do not know it. When I look back at times in my life, turning points... I could have ended up dead, or an evil person. I turned out to be me, rather than a mass murdering asshole because I had friends who didn't care that I am male, although labeled female at birth... I had friends that protected me in gym class from those who would have attacked me, not just verbally, or even physically... but the emotional scarring. I would have become so scarred I could have easily have been one of those kids that brought guns to school... instead, I can laugh and enjoy life, and I survived those times and now, because I know all I need to do is pick up a phone, and someone will still listen.
I am Grateful for:
My daughter. Although I regret having her when I did, and with whom I did, in the end she has also saved my life. I am much more grounded in life now that I have another person to care for. I have more to motivate myself than just me. My daughter pushes me to be a better person every day, even though she doesn't know it.
I am Grateful for:
Being able to read proof. One thing Leigh said to me had stuck in my head and was slowly poisoning me. I am now able to kick it to the trash can for good; with no doubts, because of proof Leigh was wrong. I read some of my mental health records today, and proved to myself that Leigh was a lying asshole when she said that Donna was never planning to write a letter for hormones for me in the first place. That is not true, else why would her notes read outright 'plan: write letter, continue 1:1'?
I am Grateful for:
Being able to take a deep breath, and mentally start over. That is what I am doing now. I do not have a plan of action, because when I have one it rarely works out. Instead, I am truly going to try to take it a day at a time. Worry about tomorrow tomorrow, else you may never enjoy today.
I am Grateful for:
Being alive, and being able to help others. I love being able to speak in public and help others come to understand that life is larger than they think, and yet still there is nothing really to fear in it. If I am still alive, and still fighting... They should be just fine.
I am going to stop now, although there is a lot more I am Grateful for.
