Every year around this time, I think about all the people in my life and how fortunate I am to have them in my life. I also think about my sisters and family, who are huge part of life even though they are so far away. I often consider moving to be closer to them. I think about my friends because no matter what, they have my back. This year I especially think about someone that I see everyday. This person has been in my life for the past 4 years and when people ask me if we still have chemistry and if we are still happy, it feels good to say yes. Of course everyone is always thankful for their significant other, but I am thankful for the way he has influenced my life and made me into a person that I can be proud of. I can't say I felt that way about myself before. I am thankful for the space and courage he gives me to grow and learn. He has become as much a mentor as a significant other to me. I think about him especially this year because I've come to realize how different I would be as a person if I hadn't met him. I hope to be as supportive to him as he is to me.
