Gratitude thread.

I'm grateful that there is so much love in my life. So much more than that one person could've given me. Love is everywhere. The food we eat, the beautiful skies, people, sounds. Even though at times I still feel pangs of shitty feelings from the hostility he probably feels towards me, I am able to remind myself that my life is so much better without that person in it.

I’m grateful for you lot. Although I don’t comment very much, I love checking in here each day. Love the camaraderie and chit-chat, and the support that is offered when people need it.

I'm grateful I get to return home soon (Tuesday, hopefully)

I am very grateful FaceBastard didn’t exist when I was a kid.

And for fluffy socks.

The amount of dumb stuff I would have posted if social media was a thing when I was a kid...

I used to post song lyrics and quotes from famous people on my FB, between 2006-2010 (14yo - 18yo).

Now I do that here instead 😂

I'm alive. I'm not struggling. My daughter is happy and healthy. I can do the things I love.

I'm just happy to be here

That was nicely said. I'm grateful for the roof over my family's heads, a split system that's in good working order and for it being Friday! Sooo tired!
