Too many people focus on the negatives in life and what they need to change about themselves. Sometimes its good to realize what youve accomplished so far and take pride in it. Im 24 now and I have come a long way. Im working full time a steady 9-5 job with good health benefits. When we close for the holidays, I still get paid for weekdays. I am comfortable at work and do my job well, I feel needed and appreciated. I have my own desk and control and responsibility over my department and its resources. Despite several complications, Ive managed to secure my good friend Laura a job with me that she excels at and is very happy with and has been willing to drive me to and from work daily, which isnt a huge burden to her since we are able to hang out. I also have been excelling in my area of work with opportunities opening up for me with my friend Mike, who has always believed in me. I built myself a very powerful pc on my own for very little cost and Im really proud of myself for that. I am involved in one of the fastest growing entertainment industries in Florida and I stand true to how loyal I am to Florida Supercon and Mike Broder. Even at the very few other conventions I attend Im always watching for anything I can to better our conventions or any procedures that can be improved upon, despite the fact that Sandy will always beat me to anything Ive discovered. Ill always have her to look up to as someone with opinions she values enough to pursue and Ive realized that life isnt worth it without something or someone to aspire to. Im lucky to have JoAh in my life helping me through something I thought I was stuck with for life. My face has been healing faster than anything Ive ever tried and Im so close to a clear complexion that my mental image of myself is clearing up, too. Establishing my confidence as an extension of myself instead of a mask. I have my sisters who are both doing so well doing what makes them happy and badass. Tori having two jobs and attending school full time, and getting As Like a boss, and Maggie, the veterinarian for my dog. I always know she knows the answer when Im worried about Dude, which isnt that often since he is probably the best choice of a pet for me right now. He never has accidents inside the house and he learns super fast. He doesnt chew through anything anymore and Ive been leaving him out of the crate all day for 3 days now and he hasnt chewed on anything but his toys, which he has a lot of so he better not. My extended family, Nathaniel and Cassandra and their soon to be three beautiful children that I think of like my own will always be there for me somehow. And I know that the door to their new home is open to me should I ever need it to be. I am 24 and I have been living away from family for 6 years and completely on my own for just over one. Im never late in my bills or have to worry about not being able to pay them. I have furniture of my own and have put a considerable dent in the list of goals that I have for myself. I have a beautiful community of free and happy people that have given me the gift of humanity in its truest form. Nia dragged me into a world of simplicity and comfort with music festivals and camping and just pure relaxed happiness. She will always be my sister and the things weve shared, including our birthday will never leave me. In this world I met the entrancing Nikita who showed me that people who judge me for what I choose to do in life dont need to be a part of mine and I should never question or be uncomfortable with the things I enjoy and just express myself how I want to. And the ever beautiful and graceful Abby who has been patient enough to teach me the basics of poi step by step even when I couldnt figure it out for hours. I think Im getting good at it. Oh, and introducing me to the djembe which I think I was missing out on my entire life. And my best friend Michael who continues to show me that everyone can change no matter how far or bad it gets and everyone deserves to be forgiven if they are strong enough to admit they are wrong and willing to put the effort into changing. These people and many many more have affected me on one way or another and the best thing Ive done in life is take note of their suggestions and advice and use it with my own logic to make the right choices and move forward. In a way I owe all my successes to every person Ive ever met or has made something Ive been in contact with. Anyway, I may have many things to change ahead of me but once in a while its good to stop and think about where I am now. And Im happy with it and where Im heading. Which is the most important thing. Every day is better than the last in some way or another. This took me a long time to type and I dont really need anyone to read it. Sometimes just writing something down helps you to solidify your own thoughts. But yeah. Im generally a very grateful person for everything I have. So, thank you.
