I’m grateful for the relationship I have with my mother today. I won’t use this platform to spew family drama (just know every family is fucked up in some manner whether you realize it or not), but I will say the relationship I have with her today is one I would have sold my soul to have when I was a teenager/young adult. Hindsight is 20/20 and as an adult and a parent I can absolutely see things from a different perspective that I didn’t have back then and I’m glad I have the opportunity to build the bond.

I’m grateful that my city is actually stepping up and helping with the SNAP shut off crisis going on. They have installed bins for donations in our locally owned grocery stores and have coordinated options for people to receive help. Local restaurants and farms are working to offer free meals, and the residents are stepping up. It’s unfortunate that in a society that’s filthy fucking rich we have people starving, but to see some humanity in the ugliness gives me the tiniest bit of hope.

I’m grateful I have made it 17 days without the nicotine vape! It is getting easier as each day passes and I have noticed a drastic improvement in my breathing/asthma (yes I was a moron who smoked with asthma, I’ll own that)

What are you grateful today?👀
