playing for keeps

thank you for your continued support.

my friends, i rely on you. i rely on you for your words and for your silence. i rely on you for encouragement and understanding. i rely on you for rides to random doctor’s appointments. and rides to weekly burrito-eating outings. i rely on your sense of humor, your sense of wonder, your common sense. i rely on you for your consideration and forgiveness. i rely on you to keep seeing me as a person - even when i can’t see myself as one. i rely on you to let me change and to let me see you change. i rely on your honesty and courage. i rely on your knitting, d&d, nunchuck skills.

things are changing quickly... quickly by my skewed sense of time and action. as of today, i am not only employed as a volunteer counselling practicum student - but also i am employed at my first real job that i have held for years. i am nervous and excited and a little overwhelmed.

knowing that i have so many super-friends/ super-family to rely on - and who clearly know that they can rely on me - is quite possibly the most important thing in my life.

for the times that i forgot to say it.... thank you.
