i'm so grateful.

for:
+ a date who makes the most beautiful things and just gives them to me like it's nothing, who organizes alleykat/scavenger hunts in this city that we love and stencils hir arms around me on walls that have seen our stories
+ a bestfriend who knows me so well & knows who i want around me & that i don't want to have to organize those logistics on my birthday
+ a chosen family of amazingly smart, caring & lovely queers
+ a blood family of amazingly smart & hilarious siblings
+ a city that i love so much that i feel literally heartsick when i leave it
+ a bike that gets me where i'm going fast and reliably (even when it makes little worrying ticking noises)
+ wrestling & mosh pits on the days when i need to fight some(one/thing)
+ cuddles & movies on the days when i need to retreat
+ enough money to pay for my home, delicious food (or extremely bland food on those increasingly frequent nauseous days), alcohol for the nights when i need it, and ink under my skin.
