Thanksgiving can come in many forms. Appreciation of the little things is just one of them. Those little things are sometimes much bigger than we can imagine.
I actually did get everything I wanted this year (but first I had to lose everything in February). I finally got help after almost killing myself and it's the first year I've wanted to be alive since 2003. And it's the first time in my life I've been mentally stable enough to work full-time. And I also finally came out of the closet. It's been a dense year.

All I ever wanted was to enjoy being alive.

This is a lovely thought, but it also makes me want to scream because: We deserve better.
We deserve better than living and watching from a distance as our loved ones dying in hospitals alone.
We deserve *better * than a federal government that abandons us while so many people are hurting.
We deserve better. So much better.
I don’t have the words to express how exhausted I am from a year of constant grieving.
I just want us to know we deserve better than this.
