As Thanksgiving passed this year, I realized I have a lot more to be thankful than I usually saw in my life. This is always the case though, isn't it? We spend the entire year complaining about minor things here and there... then all of a sudden, one holiday comes to remind us how thankful we should actually be.
I have a great family. They're 100% crazy 100% of the time but I know they all care about me deeply, and that's one of the only things I would want from them. Knowing I will always have someone to support my decisions (except maybe a tattoo; mom isn't keen on getting inked...) is such a great feeling.
I have truly amazing friends. I had to pause for a second while writing this because I was simply thinking of how great my friends are. They make me smile and laugh when I need it most. Or even if I don't really need it, they still make me happy. All of my friends are caring and kind, funny and fun to be around, smart, sassy, and sarcastic. They're really just great people.
I have someone to be very thankful for. Simply that, though. I'm thankful for him, for many reasons, reasons I will never forget but keep in fond memory.
I have silly things like great TV shows and colorful scarves. But I also have many non-silly things too. I have opportunity. I have bare necessities. I have education. I have support. I have friendship. I have kinship. I have love. I have pretty much everything I need to have a great life in the future; all the things which I am incredibly thankful for.
