I'm stuffed

[nfotxn]

*pats his belly* Ah, another Thanksgiving mission accomplished. This year was a very traditional family event with just my Mother, Brother and I. Just like the old days.

I guess the question is, what do I have to be thankful for? Really as much as I complain there's an awful lot in my life that's fantastic. First of all is the fact that I've never been more at peace with myself in my life. I just feel a balance that I haven't felt in a long time. Between openness about my academic follies, sexuality and family situation it just leaves me without the feeling of being a fake.

I really dislike transparent people.

I'm able to go to school and have a place to live for free. Arguably having to pay rent could be a good experience too, and I'm sure I'll get there but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, am I?

I have fantastic friends who however distant geographically or busy still care about me a great deal, and I'm the same in return.

I don't live in poverty. I've never experienced a war waged domestically. I have access to some of the best free socialized health care in the world.

And dammit my kitty cat loves me!

Glad you're feeling better

      I'd been composing a reply to your last note all weekend; I'm glad the clouds seem to have lifted a little bit. It's difficult to know what advice to give you (if, indeed, you were looking for advice) because I've gone through something very similar. The reassurance I can give you is, as bad as things may seem, they're temporary. You're gonna hit the ground running when you do, and then things'll happen fast.
      Don't be afraid to reach out. You have my contact numbers; call me collect, any time of the day or night, if you need to hear a human voice.
