It’s overcast today and I’m feeling nostalgic & retrospective, so bear with me a moment.

If I had lived my life according to the plans I made at 15, I would’ve been gone for ten years.

I never would’ve known that the love of my life actually loved me back the whole time.

I never would’ve gotten to start T, and now I’m almost at the one-year mark.

I never would’ve gotten to work with horses, my dream job that I’m currently going to school for.

I never would’ve known that my family wouldn’t totally abandon me after learning that I’m queer. I never would’ve known my in-laws as in-laws, or that they accept me without having to put up any pretenses. I never would’ve known I have a second chance at family altogether.

I’m grateful to be here, in spite of the horrors (lol)…because all of the things I just listed are SO worth it to me.

Here’s to a decade of still being here.

God will take care of the things that are out of my control. I just have to make sure I'm still here.
