Gratitude, Day 5.

Since it's on my mind, I'm thankful for shitty days like today -- days when you grapple with yourself mentally and emotionally; when the darkness tries to choke the life out of you. Why? Because when good days roll around again, when mental clarity rolls around again and when I stop regretting all of the missteps I've taken, I appreciate the clarity, the good and the surrender more. It gives me contrast. I don't know what light is until I've had it break open the darkness.

I am where I am right now for a reason.

So tonight, as I lay my weary head to rest (KANSAS!!!!!), I'm grateful that I can go up from here. There's beauty in the breakdown (Frou Frou/Imogen Heap!).
