i am so blessed.
i live in a beautiful house
on a beautiful street
in a beautiful world.

i am 100% completely surrounded by people who love me.
--a mother who will sit on the bathroom floor with me while i cry.
--a father who will send my pictures of sentimental cloud formations
  and "Icelandic" words of wisdom.
--friends who show up at my door when they know i have had a hard day
  despite the fact that i told them i was going to bed and wanted to be alone
  so that they can stay with me all through the night (literally)
  and rematch my favorite Joseph scenes and hold my hand and feed me ice cream
  because they know being alone is the last thing in the world i should do.
--a roommate who hears the side conversations and leaves the best gifts
  who writes the best letters and bucket lists
  and who does not even laugh when the ice cream machine at sammies is broken
  so i eat a plumb instead.
--and so many other people who understand different parts of me
  so that at the end of the day i feel like everything is covered.
  and everything is accepted. and everything is loved.









i am in awe of where my life has lead me.
and i am overwhelmingly grateful.
