Thanksgiving giveaway letter

It’s been quite a while since I wrote something down. Partly because I have been too busy living my life, partly cos I have literally been busy working my ass off and a myriad of other things. Today is thanksgiving and I have decided that I was going to write something because, well, rather obviously, It’s considered a very special occasion here in the states which I have quickly learned to like and appreciate a lot – and I thought the hiatus for my writing had been such a long time and I just immensely missed the feel of having scribbling something down and reading it back with all your thoughts seemingly in the most flawless organization it could ever be. My mind had been a complete and utter mess, and I really miss writing being my therapist as a way to sort things our for me. Anyway. Enough about that bit. I actualy want to enumerate the things, the very reason, why I am so godawfully thankful for this day. and maybe for days to come If I’m lucky enough to be still alive – not that I intend to sound morbid here.

Where should I start?

First and foremost, I am most thankful for the people in my life who managed to stay despite my incredible ability to stay insane althroughout these years and by people, I meant family and friends. To be specific, I am thankful for my mom who I share a love-hate relationship with almost every single day of my life even when i already moved out. I’m also thankful for my dad, brother, my onday (my aunt that stood as my second mom during those years I achingly yearned for one) who were always there for me, though not physically, but which I nevertheless get to talk to every now and then; them, who I know would always support me with every decision I make through and through, for better or for worse, because I have earned their trust and faith over the years of our togetherness. I love them so much and I would never trade anything for them. I am also thankful for my aunt, who’s the sister of my mom who took me in when I badly needed a place to stay because things back home weren’t exactly swaying in my favor. She might not know this, but I really am thankful for her goodness. Also to my beautiful and crazy cousin who’s shown me nothing but sweetness. These people are what makes this holiday special because I know that no matter what, they are there to stay.

However, few occurences in our lives led us into believing that everything is enough and then some people come and suddenly it seems that what you thought was enough is not very; that you never knew you needed more to make you happier. I am thankful for my partner now who has been so generous to give out love in copious amounts that I never knew someone so damaged could possibly have been capable of doing so. Hehe. No pun intended, my love. I also thank her sisters who’s now my new family and is nothing short of sweet. I love these new people in my life and I can’t wait to share more of my love to them.

And can I possibly forget all the great people I met at work and who I continuously cultivate relationships with? You guys know who you are. Also to Danny, the store manager of 257 San Carlos INO I previously worked at who was a great and wonderful one at what he does.

To Jackie, Ryan and Faith that I adore so much back in Bakersfield. I miss and love you guys so much. You guys are like family :) I’ll see you soon.

Much love,

Toni.
