I slept in today, for the first time in a long time. My birthday came last night with a storm front. One of the largest most beautiful thunderstorms I have seen in years- it poured rain, the night lit up as day, and some 25 years ago, I was foaled into this world, to stand there, 25 years later mostly bare, as the rain and thunder rampaged around me. It felt wonderful; and I stayed up late listening to the rain fall, feeling it in my hair and over my hide. And still, I thought "Where will I go from here?"
Despite having been up really late, I woke up well rested, and fairly early in the day. Despite having a rough hundred papers to grade and enter into the system before tomorrow, I felt rather relaxed- and the day remained that way, thankfully. I was visited by friends, and those who couldn't visit me offered calls, and I even had breakfast made for me, a rare treat indeed. n_n~
In these 25 years, I've had the chance to meet some amazing individuals. I don't know how I've been so fortunate to get close to these people who I can say that I love. They have inspired me in ways that they do not even know. I consider myself of the most fortunate alive; everyone should have friends and loved ones like the ones I know.
Friends- Come from near and far. Irreplaceable.
I really don't know what to say. I don't have anything witty, or very thoughtful, or emotional to write. I'm alive, its been 25 years. Friends have saved my life on several occasions, and often become much, much more than the word 'friends' could ever do them justice.
I guess, its love.
Here's to the rest of my life~
