Gratitude List

So after writing that particularly scathing post as seen below, I decided to push out some positive energy, as that will grant me a more sound center. Five things I am grateful for tonight include:

1. Writing. The fact that I know how to write actual words, even if I'm not brilliant at poetically arranging them so that they conjure up strong emotions, I still have a way to express myself.

2. Books and TV. They allow me to escape, sometimes to a world without men and sometimes simply finding out how to better put together a day to nighttime outfit. It doesn't matter, either way, my brain can just relax.

3. My bed. Because damn. That thing wants me and I want it.

4. Meetings. Being in those rooms help me make sense of a crazy, fucked up way of thinking that I just happen to have. And most times, I remember I'm not the only one.

5. My dog. Even though sometimes he barks and eats things that aren't meant to go into the stomach of a 14 pound lovebug, he's still a cuddly, sweet dog who absolutely adores me, no matter what.

I feel the rage dissipating, so I'm going to go write some more in my private edition inside that mountainous pile of delicious softness. Good night and thanks.
