Seeing as I’ve been rather down in the dumps lately, it was very surprising to me that I enjoyed this past Thanksgiving holiday. You see, holidays in the past have mangled me with fear – to the point of serious self medication, so I went into this most recent family gathering expecting a repeat of previous ones however, this holiday was unlike most (much to my shock and surprise). My brother and I shared some really great laughs (obviously at the expense of my extended family), my friends and I did some pretty humorous things, and I was pleased to end the weekend with a contented sigh and a smile on my face. It’s been a long, long, long time since I’ve experienced a moment of absolute, serene, complete peace, comfort, and happiness. I am overjoyed to say that this past week was full of moments like those.
Someone made me a mix CD recently and a cover of The Knife’s song “Heartbeats” done by Jose Gonzales was included in it…I’ve always loved the song but this version of it was really just breathtaking. I suggest turning up the volume and pressing play.

Lastly, I’ve been branching out and reading other blogs and I’ve come across something called “Thursday 13” – in which said blogger lists 13 things (obviously having to do with a topic). I’ve decided to adopt it and make it my own (and by my own I mean I’ll probably randomly post 13 things on various days) -- And without further ado, I present

*I just have to remind myself to calm down, breath, enjoy the moment, not worry about the future, not think too into things, and enjoy the fact that I am alive*
One night of magic rush
The start: a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
