Day Four: Thankful


I love what I have.
Today is Thanksgiving so it’s only natural that I write about what I’m thankful for. Today is a day for family. I know that they can drive me absolutely nuts. During this year’s Thanksgiving, it was made adamantly clear to me that anything that went wrong with the dinner was my fault. The gravy was too salty because I added too much salt. The cranberries were too tart because I didn’t add enough sugar. The dog got some turkey because he jumped into my lap to get it.


 My family doesn’t realize how much I’ve spent the last three years hating myself, hating my body, hating the things that I fail at.
But I love my family. My dad is my hero and my mom is one of the smartest people I know. My brother is L.A.Z.Y lazy, but he’s also the guy who kept me from going crazy in high school. Even though they make me infuriated at times, they are the people who support me.
More importantly I am thankful for my boyfriend. He is the family I have always wanted and always needed. He is everything in the world to me. I can’t imagine sharing another life with anyone else. We are two bodies but one soul.
I’m also very thankful for my friends, especially for my best friend. She’s been the greatest influence in my life. She’s really helped me become a better person and kept me on the road to loving myself.
Every Tuesday night I go to trivia with all my friends. Every once and a while I can just sit still and remember that even though I have trouble loving myself, there are people who love me no matter what.


Happy Thanksgiving ya’ll!

Challenge to my Readers: 
Today, be thankful. Also, don’t set your house on fire. That is all.
