this time last week, i was curled up in a ball on my bed trying to get through my latest mental breakdown. i did get through it, just like ones before last week. i'm in a spot in my life where stepping outside onto the deck feels... fresh and awakening, rather than debilitating. going to my class felt new and inspiring, rather than repetitive. seeing you after waiting all week felt euphoric & satisfying. i'm at a point in my life where i can start to pinpoint where things started going wrong. so now, i'm making them right. i'm thankful for it. i'm thankful for everyone who helped me realize that there are things to be thankful for.
