so so so, yesterday was thanksgiving. it was nice. i love my family so much and it was good to spend time with them. so a lot of you don't know this... and i'm not sure even how many people read this anymore... but my uncle has cancer and he's been dealing with it and it's been really hard on him. and he was always really quiet. but apparently yesterday at my grandma's house (the thanksgiving dinner i wasn't at b/c we were in atlanta) he gave this big speech about how much he was thankful for his family and about how hard it has been but it has changed him into a more compassionate person. and i don't know. even though i didn't hear it. when i heard about it, it just really made me... i don't know. peaceful. like everything i have going on isn't really that bad and won't last forever. and while i wish he wouldn't have had to go through all he's been through, i'm thankful for how much it has taught me. i can't even describe it really. but right now i'm so content. like i've been so messed up lately about a lot of stuff and right now i'm just like... ya know, it's okay. all of this is happening for a reason and you're going to be okay. and that makes me really happy. i've been like begging God to just make it better and to just take it all away and i think that this was His sign to me. and i'm just so thankful. i can't even express it. there's just so much to live for, so much to be happy for, no one should ever waste a day. so happy thanksgiving everyone. i love you. and God Bless!
