Thanksgiving is here for us Americans. Another holiday of seeing family, watching the lame football game, overeating until we fall asleep, and a collection of other cliches' I could describe but I want to keep this short.

This holiday to me is about taking a step back from yourself and realizing what you really have in life. We all wish for more, we all want more and whoever doesn't is a rotten liar. Yet I truly try to not take what I have for granted.

-A warm, safe place to live

-Loving friends and family

-My health (aside from my clincal depression)

-The ability to expression myself

I know that last one seems very self absorbed and superficial compared to the rest but if I didnt have the chances to express myself I would lose my mind, so Im thankful I have the chance to do this from time to time.

I think of my uncle John who died alone in a forgotten home, I was only 7 at the time but I remember the last time I saw him there was just this look of complete desolation in his face. He was completely alone, he was dying and nobody seemed to care.

I've been there myself in a state of nothing. Completely alone with no friends, no family, no pets for support, I did some horrible things to my body and my soul, I was in Hell, not anymore though.

Now Im not comparing my pain to my uncles' he went through more than I could ever imagine but I've gone through my own pain, suffering, loneliness, etc

My life isn't always sunshine and rainbows but I know it could be a helluva alot worse.

So before things get too emotional or depressing what am I rambling on about is when your eating that food, chatting (or fighting) with family or whatever the situation is, even if you don't celebrate the holiday or its another Thrusday to you just take a step back from yourself and realize yeah life isn't perfect, in fact it might be really fucking shitty right now but embrace all the beautiful things in your life, don't take it for granted because it could go all away and I know its such a typical thing to say and it sounds thin but I care about your well being, all of you.

unfathomable amount of love, respect, comfort, and warmth to the following people here.
