I'm thankful for everything I've learned in the past 5 years while living in Seattle. I learned a lot about who I am, what I really value, and how I want to go forward and build my life with the people I care about. There was a lot of disillusionment involved, but it was necessary for growth. I'm likewise thankful I will soon return to a place where I feel totally at home, and that I will be returning there without most of the baggage that made me want to leave. I'm thankful that my friends and family are patient with me, and though I may try their patience or be frustrating sometimes, ultimately, it doesn't change our core love and affection for one another.
