Thank You

Here's to you, 2014, a year of massive growth, change, and love....

This was the year I laughed harder than I ever have over a stupid celebrity, random gifs, and random LIFE with people I've never even met before.

This was the year I was finally able to get an official diagnosis on my mental illness.

This was the year I admitted my alcohol addiction.

This was the year I learned being an adult doesn't mean giving up your inner child.

This was the year I finally learned my inner voice is the smartest opinion and the only one that matters.

So thank you, stupid male celebrity who shall not be named, because you brought me closer to a group of friends through social media I might never have discovered otherwise. But mostly, thanks to you girls for the endless nights of absolute side-splitting, howling laughter and friendship I never knew before until this year. You will never know how much you mean to me because this moment is already gone. 

Thank you, brain. I understand you now. You come at me with your ninja skills, I have a machete now, motherfucker. 

Thanks, alcohol, for everything, truly- the good times, the bad times, lessons, the heartbreak. And goodbye.

Thanks, inner kid who still builds blanket forts and always refuses to do the dishes. Life is too short to do dishes when you can be dancing outside in the hot summer rain.

And thanks, me. You're smart when you let go and listen, so stop thinking so much. You get stupid when you think.

Here's looking at you, 2015. 

And forgive me for the first two weeks of bad mood swings because the diet starts tomorrow.
