uh, I have a lot actually

finished exams last week

got my grades this week and got all A’s and one A- (hell fucking yeah)

my best friend got engaged the day before my birthday

my sister is the happiest she’s been in years

My other best friend is home and happy and safe and seeing her boyfriend

I got to see my boyfriend the other night

I’m getting to see my family every day now

I can walk and my knee is on it’s way back to being strong

I’ve been offered the opportunity to do Research assuming the project gets approved AND I’ve been offered the opportunity to work starting in January which will hopefully allow me to earn enough money to get through the next semester

my family is safe and sound, healthy, and happy. Everyone, my immediate and extended family. 

That’s enough to share for now, I suppose.. thanks heh

I'm thankful to be alive and breathing.

Had a bad day, so unfortunately that's all you get for today.

Friday the 13th is widely known as being unlucky. I tend to believe that luck is really just a matter of what you make of any given situation that happens to present itself.

Although there may be things that go on in our life that are unsavory, I guess my theory is that it's the very best thing to stay positive, pull the good out, be angry/sad/upset for a little while, and then embrace the cheerful and light that you have found.

I find myself to be very fond of birthdays. A special day once per year that we get the opportunity to show someone in our lives just how much they mean to us and how much they deserve to be celebrated.

I remember this today as I was wrapping up the gifts for my boyfriend's birthday, and I just stopped for a moment to be thankful for his existence, not only in the world, but in my heart. I allowed myself to feel the awe of the ways that my life is better because he is a part of it.

We've known one another for 5 years now, this will be the first of his birthdays that we are a serious romantic couple, and I'm quite happy to show just how much he means to me.
