I'm thankful for having made it this far.
Seven months ago, I thought the world would never shine and smile for me anymore. Yet I have the most amazing people surrounding me to ensure my world stayes bright and happy. Of course it rains and thunders occassionally, and it is almost always partly cloudy, nevertheless, it is bright and full of life.
I'm thankful for my friends. Whether it's to just lie there in the middle of the living room and laugh at absolutely nothing and act as if we're potheads when we're only high on life, or to ask for advice, or for a shoulder, or to ask for rides. I love and cherish my friends very much ^_^
I'm thankful for the anime and manga and video games I've been introduced to because it linked me with my closest friends. My friends who made me such a crazy nut, my friends who I spazz over fictional characters and fantasy storylines. I'm not grateful for the anime and manga and stuff itself, more for the links it's created with people ^_^
I'm thankful for my family, although a bit rocky and unusual, they still love me. For a dad who only fears the day I'll no longer be under his care, but under the care of myself, and for a brother who really loves me despite the teasing and beat-ups. For a sister in law who's grown into the sister I never had [not that I regret having a brother but...I'm sure having a sister is fun too!], and for a niece who runs up to me and grabs my hand and cries until I go play with her. And for a mom who isn't quite here, but will always be here no matter what.
I'm thankful for a lot of things. For being able to go to school. For being able to get a job in a place I know I'll enjoy. I'd be thankful for being able to drive but the DMV doesn't quite like me right now [stupid DMV...]
I'm thankful to be alive one more year. Let's see what I'll be thankful for next year ^_^ |
