h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Today is one that doesn't come along too often. I sit at my desk and gleam with no expression. Some kind of inner joy, overwhelming and satisfying. Who would I thank for being alive? I used to be in love with destroying myself, putting shit up my nose and in my blood and in my head. I used to hate, and regret, and judge.

There came a point in the last year where all of this stopped and a new journey began. It isn't an easy one. But it sure does beat the last one.

I love you Shannon. For all that you are and for all that I have found in myself because of you. Today, the insignificant nightmares that ruin my soul seem to have taken a vacation. I'm sure they will return at some point, but it is a good day and I love you.

So, without getting too complicated as to what, who, where, why, and when it is I should thank for my life, I thank you for the people who make up me. For every experience, good and bad, that I have been privledged to be apart of. For still believing in me after I failed countless times. For giving me life after death, love after hate, and family after solitude.

Thank You.
