belated 'thank you's

Wow, so it's been a while since I said thanks for anything on here. There has been so much to be grateful for since August - so, so much.

Thank you Shannon, for sending me such a warm, beautiful apology, for forgiving and forgetting, and for being someone so easy to miss.

Thank you Laura, without you I would have no one to share all my fun secrets with, no one to go crazy with, no one to call my best friend. Thank you for showing me just how much love I am capable of.

Thanks to November for bringing sunshine, heat and the holidays. Thanks for birthdays and upcoming christmas. Thank you Blake for teaching me to play poker, among other things - broadening my film watching experiences, opening my mind to the once-dreaded phone call, etc.

Thanks to mum and dad for always believing that I will do great things with my life - you give me reason to try.

Thanks to the perth music scene for helping me find a place, a love, and to feel connected to the world around me.

Thanks Shoki for teaching me what affection is really like, and always making me feel like I'm the one you want.

For my hilarious sister, my beautiful friends, my accommodating bosses, my devoted tutors, the books I have read that opened my mind and heart, the places I've gone that have inspired me, and all the beauty and awe there is to experience if you look.
