This year has been the hardest of my life to be alone and to stay alive, but I still have been immensely blessed even in the suffering, even when I felt like I was cursed. This year, life brought back friends that I had deeply missed, gave me a vacation with my mom in a tropical oasis, pulled me out of the most toxic, painful relationship of my life, introduced new friends, and forged existing friendships in a deeper fire than I could have imagined I would get to live in with so many different people. This year I have gotten to practice unbridled honesty with myself and loved ones, taste the freedom that vulnerability brings, explore my mind and my heart like an expansive treasure map, learn to establish habits that better protect my health, and have the space to heal. I am grateful for a work family that hasn’t given up on me when my absolute best effort was bull shit, for friends that have pursued me and found pride in who I am and how I love them and also for the opportunity to love them. I’m thankful for my parents that give unendingly to help me have a safe and comfortable life. I’m thankful for the thousands of slices of pizza I’ve eaten, the countless horrible puns I’ve yelled, the sticks of incense I’ve burned, the cups of coffee I’ve sipped, the hands of cards I’ve played and held, the room-filling laughter that’s erupted from my soul. I’m so thankful for Instagram and that I’ve kept pictures and words of the most important and precious memories. And I am thankful for me. My confidence, my strength, my personality types, my astrology signs, my trauma, my baggage, my sense of humor, my mind, my intelligence, my style, my spirituality, my sexuality, my sweet little, lone kidney, my giant emotional heart that will not give up on love and the light that I see in everyone around me. I’m thankful for a full moon and a full heart as the beginning of a Sagittarius Season that finally turns the mess around. I’m thankful that despite all the hell, there are still days that I feel like this. #ootd #yeahthatgreenville #greenville360 #gvltoday #southeastisbeast #socality #postthepeople #makeportraits #selfie #aesthetic #vsco #vscocam #witchy #modernwitch https://www.instagram.com/p/BqgP4XojUFy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9z7hd9o23r0n
