Its the holiday season, and i'm supposed tocome up with what i'm thankful for. So this is what i've come up with.
I am thankful for having a house to grow up in; and to live. I've been traveling to big cities lately and I see the homeless. It makes me think about how much I take for granted. Like caring parents, a safe home, actual friends too.
I'm happy to have 3
real friends. Not friends that talk behind my back or use me in any shape or form. Friends that take me in and take care of me when I need them most. People that laugh with me and see eye to eye with me (on most things). I find friendship incredible and I honestly do love them. Courtney Moore and Teresa Silva being two people who I can count on almost more than my own family. And Jordan Kidwell, who is not only my boyfriend but my best friend.
And then there is my family. I'm greatful for having parents who are loyal to what they do. My father has been working to support me and my sister ever since he was 18; after he lost his job he got back on his feet and got enrolled to a nursing school. Its been a year and a half since Air Bourne Express shut him down. How I have the things I have now, I don't know. I haven't exactly been making him the happiest father lately and he doesn't see eye to eye with me either, but I miss him and I do love him. My mom who cares so much about the animals that people toss out; she works hours and hours at the local humane society which sometimes actually gets on my nerves but i'm proud of her. My sister too, i've gone through some interesting incidents that have made me overly infuriated, sad and happy with her; but I love her to death. I love all of them. And i'm glad to have them.
I've also been thinking about school a whole lot. I've been slacking so much for the past two years & it's about time I focus more on it. It really is important. Everyone has to go through it, so i'm not the only one. So many people in the world would love to be able to go to school & be educated, but we all take it for granted. I take it for granted, and I really need to stop. I used to love school. I loved getting up in the morning (when I was a younger kid) & going to school and learning. I grew to absolutely hating every minute of school. I stopped paying attention, I just dreaded it.. I want to start loving it again. I really want to learn things from people. I want to meet people that can teach me how to be a better person. That would be great.
I actually took this picture in May of 2009. When Roscoe was still alive and my dad still lived in my house. I was washing my car this day; Roscoe kept trying to attack the water hose and Chongo imitated him. I was sitting on the stone steps by the house and found this white moth there.
