a case of the tuesdays
yesterday i was having a rather down day, so i decided to make myself a Gratitude List (just a little thing i picked up from The Secret); sometimes all it takes is remembering all the awesome in your life to snap you out of a petty funk.
i am grateful for:
mom & dad- without them, i'd be living in a cardboard box. i owe them for pretty much everything i have and everything i am.
my gatos- the remind me that there are other things to consider besides myself...even if i do leave them alone without hugs and sometimes food for a couple days at a time...
chastine- i'd probably be the most miserable hermit of a woman during the rest of my stay in NYC if it weren't for her. she kind of saved my life this year. thanks ARC, you were good for something.
april- my Chicago bff, brought into my life via chas and never left (and never will, mwahahaha) i can think of nobody else i'd rather drive x-country and start over in LA with :)
emily- my sister! how am i going to live without her? i will pray with every bone in my body that she finds the most amazing job in California and is forced to join me out there.
sarah- bestie. so proud of her and has been such a source of support and strength for me for the past year and a half of my life. she's my partner in crime and adventure, and i can't wait for her to realize her dreams and join me on the Best Coast.
sarasil- to Hell and back a few times with this girl, she's become exactly who i knew she always was. we never hesitate to pick up where we left off, and i sure hope that never changes.
jenna (j. danger)- my surrogate little sister; looking at her is like watching myself grow up again. i only hope i give her the advice i wish someone had given me when i was her age. <3
jenna (j. dawg)- i never get to see her anymore, but she is and always will be family to me. we've been through so much together, and i love her to death.
my SoCal friends & family: laura, jackie, josh, jaxin, natalie, aunt sue, alison, stephanie, georgie & kys, ryan, aj, leslie, adam, lindsey- knowing i have all these people at my back for probably the most major thing i've ever done in my life is pretty amazing. can't wait to have them all in my every day life.
danielle- another one of those insta-bffs you never expect to find, and never want to let go of.
jeremy- probably one of my favorite people, a total judgement-free zone. i take a lot of comfort in this one, and only wish i could see him more often.
jake- on a good day, he's one of the best people in my life. on a good day- i'm grateful for the good days.
Madison Square Park/The Flatiron District/Union Square- being in this area of the city makes me feel like i could set up camp and stay, happily, forever. so many good memories, the vibe is so comfortable. areas like this in NYC are so few for me. i will miss it SO much when i leave.
Blender Theatre- same as above; memories, happiness, comfortable. love it.
7Eleven coffee!- particularly at 23rd & Park. always makes me happy.
Babycakes- omg. <3 thank goodness there's one in LA, and extra special thanks for being conveniently located across the street from my friend.
Whole Foods 2nd Ave- IT'S JUST GLORIOUS. glorious. it's a delicious healthy food wonderland and in a really great part of town. i really just enjoy being there.
The Agency Group- i'm SO grateful for the time i spent there, it changed my life and has helped shape what it is today. maybe one day they'll hire me, firreals :) ::fingers crossed::
Warped Tour- same as TAG; life changing, best thing i've ever done. can't wait to do it again.
finishing college- PRAISE JEEBUS, I'M ALMOST DONE.
and last, but not least...
music- does this even need an explanation? it is the only constant, it is my love, it is my life. without it, i have absolutely no idea who i'd be.
so, there's my Gratitude List for april 12, 2010. i'm grateful for all of that and more, and next time you too feel like crap and have trouble thinking of something to smile about, i highly suggest taking a few minutes to make yourself one of these. you can even just do it in your head, but writing it down is helpful too- cathartic, and gives you something to go back to when you need reminding that Life Is Good.
happy wednesday :)
