This will be quick. Brief really. I have been lacking as of
late to write. I don’t know why I was on such a roll for a little while and
then stopped. I just lost sight of a couple things. Like my own goals. I need
to take a beat and realize I have them written down on paper for a reason, so I
have to face them everyday and watch the progress unfold. Hopefully there is
progress to see.
But today, it is Thursday, and I am going to continue onward
in spreading my thankfulness for everyone in my life.
Unfortunately I will be extremely broad in my thanks.
Don’t worry, you’ll know who you are. And I will become more
detailed, but I am trying to be brief, remember?
To my friends. All of you. Every single last stinking one of
you: old, new, borrowed, blue… wait…
But in all seriousness, my friends are my family. Or they
have become such in a quick turn throughout my life.
Some of you have seen some pretty dark times and stuck by me
regardless. Some of you have told me what I did not want to hear, but truly
needed to hear. Some of you have gotten up in the wee hours of the morning just
to get out the door and run with me. Some of you have discussed far bigger
things than I ever thought my little life could hold or handle. Some of you
have continually guided me towards the path in life I am meant to lead, but
never truly realized. And some of you have done more than guide, you straight
up told me that is what I should be doing. Some of you have watched me rant and
rave at the smallest of things and did not judge me. Some of you judged me and
loved me regardless. Some of you opened up immediately and took me in,
sheltered me, cared for me, waited with me, supported me, held me, cried with
me, loved me.
You did it even when I couldn’t do it for myself. You held
my hand even when I didn’t want to be there. You ran with me, cried with me,
ran some more, ate massive amounts of food, drank gallons of coffee, watched
endless movies, created thousands and thousands of memories I will never
forget. Because a lot of them are on Instagram.
I knew I needed to thank everyone on the whole this evening,
as I was reading all of the notifications on my Facebook page after work. The
beauty and wonder in all your words and “likes” brought me to near tears
because I was so moved by you all.
Even when I didn’t want you to, you kept going.
Even when I didn’t think I deserved it, you kept on giving.
Even when I still think I don’t, I am still getting texts
and phone calls and notifications, telling me different.
Thank you. I am blessed and overwhelmed with all of you. I hope
I can give back half as much as you have given to me.
