So in light of my father’s suicide and my mother’s relapse and consequential hospitalization, I think I’m beginning to lose sight of what has kept me happy throughout all of these years of dysfunction, loss and general shittiness. Thus, I’ve decided to do a quick run through of what I’m grateful for. Everything that is worth waking up for.
My brother, who knows exactly why I am the way I am and loves me. My grandmother, who will always feed me and make sure I know I am cared for. My countless aunts, uncles and cousins who are an always looming, always present and occasionally over-bearing support system. For my cats, who always annoy me but will always equally make me smile. For soy lattes! The feeling I get when I take my shoes off after a long day. For talking to Jeremy every day when I wake up and every night before I go to bed. For my amazing friends who love me regardless of how messy, sad or stupid I may get. For mindless reality shows that make me feel normal. For the possibility to someday have children. For the future that I’m sure can only be more amazing than the present. For my huge, world-wide network of people who will always be there to tell me I’m great and make me feel special, even when I’m being a pain in the ass.
I’m grateful for chocolate milk, and the fridgeful of Yoohoo I have right now. For mornings I wake up early enough to eat breakfast. For video games!! For Christmas lights. For scary movies. For long drives with people I need to catch-up with. For spicy tuna rolls. For freshly washed sheets. For having enough money to pay the bills. For warm towels when getting out of the shower. For netflix. For costume parties. For my amazing co-workers. For having a job! For being blessed with having a whole family and one point in time. For knowing my father. For knowing my ridiculous little brother before he passed away. For the many friends I have lost. For the hope that this life isn’t the end. For sunny days. For rainy days. For road trips and meeting new people. For having the ability to make pretty much anyone laugh. For days off. For scented candles. For ice cream. For bubble baths. My cell phone. Crossword puzzles. Fruit salad. Sleeping in. Arcades. Haircuts. Babies! Paint. Clean laundry. Angry birds. Chapstick.
Friends. Family. Breath. Health. Life.
