Thankful

Sometimes you have a shitty day…

Sometimes you have a shitty week…

Hell sometimes the whole fucking month is shitty…

But after all those days, weeks, months you open your eyes, look around, and what remains is what is important and what you should be thankful for. What remains are your friends, your true friends.

The ones that show up in the middle of the night when you’re freaking out.

The ones who know baking heals a bruised heart and soul.

The ones who spend hours at the park playing with your kid so you can feel some adult connection.

The ones who let you vent even when they have their own problems to deal with.

The ones who own a piece of your heart and soul for the rest of your life.

I have been blessed over the years to meet some of the most beautiful souls. I have been privileged  to call some of these souls my friends. Over the years I have lost and gained so many possessions, but my true friends have remained the same. I am so grateful to be surrounded by the love and respect, beauty and brilliance of my friends. Thankful to have created connections and been able to trust strangers with my deepest thoughts.

Friendship is not without ups and downs. There is no obligation as simply a friend to stay through those ups and downs. We choose to remain. We choose to look past the down times and remember the ups. We choose to provide comfort, love and a sense of security.

I have many issues, this isn’t something I hide. I have trust issues, relationship issues, loneliness issues. Those who choose to look past those have found the true essence of who I am. They have made the effort to find the woman under the issues. They have taken the bad, the worse, and the most awful of me and choose to still love, support and respect me.

To my friends, with every ounce of my being I thank you.

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for you, youre love, respect and the commitment to our relationship.
