Thankful Bullshit
So saw a friend post on a group page about being thankful, and well, here we are:
I am truly thankful for my family for supporting me through some pretty dumb bs I’ve pulled since graduating college. I still probably wouldn’t be here in New York trying to “make it” (insert heavy 🧀 here) and if it wasn’t for them telling me to not just give up and move home. You guys helped me bounce ideas and let me think it out while offering sound advice and let me see my conclusions in front of me.
I’m thankful this year for my roommate Mark for putting my name out there and got me on a crew working for network tv. It’s truly been the best decision I’ve made making the switch to this insane working schedule where I hardly see my bed, but it has been the most rewarding work I’ve done in my life for what I get to do. I might have finally found my niche in life and I can’t say thank you enough.
Segmenting directly into the next people who get shout out: the crew of New Amsterdam. It’s not the greatest television by any means, but we still are a fun almost second family now and I don’t think I’d wanna be stuck outside for 12 hours outside in the cold with any other group people. Of course there are plenty of individual people who know exactly who they are that have made these long days so much better with genuine smiles when they see me or each other, those extra long hugs where for that brief moment worries melt away and all those moments something is just too funny or when the laughter gets a little out of hand during a take. Thank you for making these last few months worth it and reassuring that I’m on the right path surrounded by the right kind of people.
Lastly, I want to be a touch vain/narcissistic and say thank you to myself for not listening to the negative thoughts in my own head that told me to do everything but make this leap of faith and meet all these wonderful people that have helped me realize what I want to do where I need to be in my life to make those hopes and dreams turn into realities.
I love you all and wish you nothing but the best for you and your friends and family and loved ones where ever they are.
