& i want to thank you

i'm so thankful for you guys xo

i think it's thanksgiving. is it thanksgiving? let's all take some time to google it. DON'T WORRY I'VE DONE IT NOW and yes, it really is thanksgiving. am i american? no, not at all. but i quite like the idea of this holiday - being positive and eating loads. it's sort of like a pre-christmas bash and that's definitely okay with me because it means we can talk about festivities and all you fucking scrooges can't be hating on it because obama tells me it's okay. obama though, what a man. shall we take a moment?

"oh fucking hell, it's emo hour" sort of

i'm thankful for a lot of things really, even if i spend 75% of my time moaning like a sunnuvabitch. instead of bombarding you with hows and whys, i'm going to compile another list. list posts are easy to read and don't require much effort on my behalf. i would love to say this one is different but it's not really. 

1) the support of my family and friends in everything i do. it's wonderful to feel so accepted and humbled by people you hold so close to your heart. text someone and say you're thankful for them. 

2) mamrie hart bloopers at 3am. my spirit animal.

3) being gay in a time and place when it's actually beginning to be seen as "okay". yes - there's a lot of work to be done. no - i'm not a gay activist. yes - i feel guilty that i should be doing more for the cause. no - i'm probably not going to start that any time soon.

4) dickheads and fucking morons. they make the world go round the same as us fantastically beautiful and staggeringly intelligent people do. it takes all sorts. i'd feel worse if i hated a nice person so these pricks are always needed. keep your distance though. 

5) cinnamon.

6) heartbreakers who, in turn, inspire female singer-songwriters to reach their full potential and write fucking amazing pop songs about being sad and dying in the sea. also, shout out to those girls who are alive all the same. 

7) freedom of speech and control over my own body. i can (mostly) do or say what i want whenever i want and that's very liberating. until recently, i never had a problem with authority. nowadays, i spend most of my time feeling like an anarchist. 

8) sugar. all of the sugar in everything. and also lactose free stuff that doesn't make me shit myself. 

9) sippy cups. books. a nice, non smudge, black gel pen. diesel aftershave. beakers. yankee candles. big bottles with funny lids. really tight jeans. mason jars. pill boxes. album artwork. bonsai trees. rodents. pillar candles. "just because" cards. dry humour. jon kortajarena. most things that come in the shape of a heart. good packaging. david attendborough. monochrome. writing letters. poetry. lip balms. winter. being alone. honest social media. 

10) you. 

but i guess the bigger question is: "what the fuck are you thankful for?" have a think. really though xo
