Things I am grateful for

a family that never makes me feel guilty if i don’t come home for the holidays
SomaFM’s Secret Agent station – especially when walking around with earphones, it makes me feel like i’m in an exciting, mysterious, stylish movie that nobody around me knows i’m in
living within walking distance of school
the smell of cinnamon & orange
my creative capacities, even if i don’t exercise them as much as i feel i should
my true friends, though that is tinged with sorrow sometimes since they are scattered so far and wide
