I'm thankful that I have a steady job and that I'm in my last semester of school, and I'm about 95% sure I'm going to graduate this semester.
I'm thankful for my parents' continual support and for giving me a place to live and feeding me and buying me another car when my old one caught on fire. I'm thankful that they pay for my schooling and that my parents are okay with me just getting an associates degree and not continuing on for another 2 years in school when I'm obviously not cut out for school.
I'm thankful to have my friends in my life - to the glitzers, to the people I've met on tumblr who have gone from strangers on the internet to people that I text and call and talk to on more ways than just tumblr and have become a bigger part of my life than just "internet friends." I'm thankful for my vegas crew - all the crazy times we've had and all the shenanigans we get into when I go up to NYC for a weekend. I'm thankful to all of the people I've met through going to shows in NYC, all the people I talk to on twitter who make my day better and who make me smile with stupid things and make me think about my life and my choices.
I'm thankful for Steph being in my life - someone who I talk to almost everyday, for writing our book together, for housing me when I go to NYC, for waiting around for hours at a time to pick me up at the bus stop, for going to shows with me, and for cuddling with me even though she doesn't like to cuddle. I'm thankful for all of the long conversations and late nights we have had together this past year, for her taking me to my first two Broadway shows, and for her letting me borrow her awesome noise-canceling headphones so I don't have to listen to everyone snoring around me in her house.
I'm thankful for Bre being in my life - someone who will talk to me about Glee things and who will drive me around NYC, and who doesn't slam on the breaks too hard when I'm in the trunk. I'm thankful for her being there for me when I lost my shit because I missed my bus, and for also cuddling with me even though she doesn't really like to.
I'm thankful for Shark Bait, even though she and I don't talk as much as we used to because she's been in Spain for the past three months and she and I were both really busy this summer. But I'm still thankful to have her in my life as a constant that I know will always be there, as she has always been there for me to talk to, no matter what time, about anything and everything. She has been there since I was in high school, so when I grow and change as a person, she knows what is good for me and what is not.
I'm thankful for Murr, despite us not seeing each other that often, for her unconditionally loving me despite me mothering her. I'm thankful to have met her three years ago, and to have her remind me that I'm not a failure at life. I'm thankful that she and Herman have grown closer in my absence, because I think they need each other without me there. I'm thankful that she is still in my life and that she will probably be so in the future.
I am very thankful for the people in my life and if I don't say it enough, I just want to let them know that I love them very very much and I am happy with how my life is shaping out to be, and I have them to thank for that.
So thank you.
