Grateful to feel alive and as lonely as I used to feel. For the kind and motivating words, from the very few people who are still with me.
 
I'm grateful both my feet hit the floor today when I stood up from bed.

In grateful for the friends I haven't seen in years blowing up my phone through Facebook, texting, calling me, making me feel like I was the superstar missing the party when I decided to stay home and cry in bed.
I'm grateful to my friend Marc calling me last night even though he was at a party just to talk and make me laugh,even if the laugh was hallow.

thankful for the crazy unfolding of my life. "What a long, strange trip it's been" indeed.
 
There's a lot much more to come. :)

I hope I can get older and come to terms with my life considering all the strange things I lived and still have to carry on my shoulders.

Yes, I didn't mean to make it sound like I was done!;) The beautiful thing about aging is that you do quite naturally start to accept your past and feel gratitude for it--regardless of how crazy or misguided it was at the time. Maybe it takes a whole lifetime to get back to a state of self-acceptance that was originally installed in every one of us at birth. If you look at it that way--the inevitable erosion of self and then the rebuilding/reclaiming of self later on, it is kind of a neat equation.
