So I dont really post statuses much anymore but I was overcome with well I dont know (heads up its long but I think worth it): So todays Thanksgiving, the day in which were supposed to give thanks for all of the people and things that are in our lives. A year ago today I was across the sea studying abroad in London. Specifically, I was in Belgium visiting a Miss Kimmi Phillips who was nice enough to make me a bomb spaghetti thanksgiving meal. I say all this to say last year I had so much to be thankful for I was overwhelmed with thankfulness. I knew where I was going in life and was prepared for whatever life felt like throwing at me. This year? Well this year is a bit of a joke. I regressed in a way I didnt think would ever be Malik-like. I came back home after not succeeding in the way I wanted to in a summer internship, was unemployed for 3 weeks, took the rest of 2014 off of school to focus on myself in getting my life back in order and now the highlight of my life is that Im a server. A freaking server! From a scholar learning about Monet and Degas and rich European history, to asking if I can grab you some extra bread or a refill of salad. (side note if youve made it this far, thanks for being a champ and caring) I say all that to say, amazingly, Im still thankful. Maybe not as overwhelming thankful as I was at this point last year, but thankful nonetheless. Im thankful for my ridiculous little job in which Ive gotten the chance to meet some definite life long buddies, a future summer European traveling friend and consistently receive a dose of humility, as well as appreciation form awful and wonderful people alike. Im thankful for my dog who is the most spoiled brat in the world and yet makes me smile more than any human I know. Im thankful for my family, whom I barely spoke to at a thanksgiving dinner that was only culpable because I had an essential goblet of wine. Im thankful for the friends I have in whom I actually still keep contact with and actually care how there actually doing. And lastly, what Im most thankful for? The ability to find comfort in the fact that no, I may not be in the exact position I thought I would be a year ago, and yet Im ok with that. I have no idea where Im going in life, but I know Ill end up where Im supposed to be. Oh, and I guess Im thankful for you person for taking enough time to read this long ass post. So, heres to another year of thankfulness, of non-knowingness, of adventure and god knows what else. Cheers :)
