Even with all the things that went ass-backwards, upside down, and FUBAR'd this year ... I'm grateful for it. Because it taught me I can handle anything that comes at me and that I can still make the life I want while I'm doing it
There are so many things in this life that I love doing, and so many amazing communities that I'm part of now: this one, the art collective I've joined, the Playhouse ... The world is still full of beautiful people and incredible things, and in the midst of everything that got thrown my way, having those reminders made all the difference in the world.
So if you're seeing this tonight, thank you for being one of those reminders, a light and a fantastic presence in the world. Don't stop being yourself.
