[valanha]

I am grateful for my daughter, my friend, and my cat. That I have a house, a job, stable food and income.

I am grateful that I am able to live my life relatively free and in relative safety, without needing to be ashamed or hide who and what I am. That I can live completely and authentically me, and by doing so, can live my values and principles.

But really, in the absence of all of that, I am just happy to be alive and see my daughter grow into the beautiful young adult she is becoming.
