Christmas

Christmas Day is officially over. I know my mother would hate to hear me say it again, but it seriously seemed to be one of the worst Christmas seasons of my life. To start it off the month, the bf dumps me over the phone the DAY before finals. Then some more shady shit happens with my friends. THEN I get sick. And to top it all off, I wake up on Christmas day to find that I've gotten a gift from dear Aunt Flow...if ya know what I'm sayin. Oh and I've got another problem, but we're not gonna talk about that here hahah.

My mom actually got mad at me when I brought up how horrible this Christmas season has been. She looked at me with her eyebrows all furrowed like she always does and said, "Don't say that. You have so much to be thankful for."

She was totally right. I am so lucky and blessed to be living the life I am. My family always reminds me of this. Sure, lots of things seem to be going wrong at the worst possible time, but everything could be so much worse than it is. I've learned a lot from everything I've gone through, particularly this month, and I'd like to think I've become a better person from it. For that, I am very thankful.
