Celebrate the People In your Life While You Still Have the Chance

Thank you Curtis, for this bit of love! Thank you for your soul and for your inspiration. Thank you for your genuine spirit and for reminding me to celebrate me every now and again. Thank you for celebrating life and all that is good... and sometimes all that is bad. Thank you for reminding me to smile and for being that friend that I needed. Thank you for allowing me to shine light into your life because it reflects back to me when I need it most. Thank you for loving God and encouraging me to take a breath. Thank you for appreciating me and for trusting me to be there. Thank you for coming into my life and being just what I needed when I needed it most. Thank you for Curtis Day!

It's rare that we meet people in life that we truly click with. These days, it's rare to find people that we can honestly trust. Personally, it is extremely hard for me to believe that people will stick around. I'm just used to people entering into my life, taking what they need from me, and leaving. Maybe that's my fault, but my spirit allows for me to be exactly what people need at the right time. However, people oftentimes have no real interest in a mutualistic, symbiotic, long term friendship. We live in a world of using and abusing, and somewhere along the line, that became acceptable.

With that being said, I would like for us all to remember to take a moment to celebrate the people in our lives that make our world a better place. Celebrate the people who motivate us, who love us, and who push us to do more. Thank them for being themselves. Thank them for who they are and for who they are to you. Thank them for who they've become because of you. Thank the special people in your life that inspire you to be more than what you aspire to be. Thank the people in our lives that want what's best for us, despite what that means. Take a moment to just say thank you! Their relationship means more to you than you can explain.

Although I am thankful for Curtis and the joy that he has recently brought into my life, there are so many other important people to me that mean just as much, and you beautiful people know exactly who you are. So thanks to God for leading you to me. Thank you to my soulmates for being amazing individuals with so much love to give. I pray that I provide the love and support that you give to me each and every day. Thank you for making me better and for helping me to become whole again. Affirmation is everything and I may not get the chance to tell you tomorrow that I love you.

Xoxo,
