I had a fucking wonderful Christmas.
Was surrounded by friends and family, and got everything I could've wanted.
Got:
- Socks,
- Underwear,
- Shirts,
- and a hoodie from the Direction XL (I'm 6'1 so big boy clothes are super fucking expensive.)
- Valuable time with my girlfriend and her family
and most of all
The GF and I are going to Japan for New Years! The biggest surprise of the year for me.
Honestly, I've been dealing with a lot of interpersonal bullshit this year, but days like these really help me realize that it's not all shit. I've got plenty of disposable income, a loving girlfriend that I'm considering proposing to, a supportive family (at least on her side) and plenty of friends to share my experiences with.
Just last year I was living in a shitty-ass rundown apartment in the worst part of Memphis, living from check to check considering if I should bother going on the next day. But here I am today, the situation completely flipped.
Love those around you, never take for granted what you have, even the smallest, most minuscule things. Love life.
