Thanksgiving

It's a hard day. I mean, you're supposed to just stop everything you are doing and muster up the strength to remember what you're thankful for in life. Honest reflection is difficult. Truly noticing the privilege of our lives is tough. And, that's all without throwing on top a bought of depression or just a bad fucking day. Hell, that's not including the energy it can take to be civil to your family, regardless of if you love them or not. So, what's my point?

Honestly, I'm unsure.

I mean, I want to tell you you're beautiful and that's something I am thankful for. I want to tell you that your story is important. I want to tell you it's alright to be a little (or a lot) pissed off on Thanksgiving Day. I mean sometimes life can suck. But, even at its hardest, life is all we have. You can have me, too, if when it's hard I can have you too. Can promise each other that? That when the going gets tough we will remember to lean on each other?

So, if today was hard for you, I hope you'll reach out. You can email me @ twloha.creighton@gmail.com. Just put my name in the subject or something. Otherwise, I hope you'll find a friend. And if today was easy for you, I hope finding things to be thankful for brought a lovely smile to your face. And maybe all of us can be thankful some day. I mean, the stars are gorgeous, and nothing beats a picturesque sunset. It's just a little hard to notice sometimes.
