THIS THANKSGIVING, WHAT ARE YOU MOST THANKFUL FOR? 

I guess at this moment, trying to find light in this weird “storm” of a sense: so I’m most thankful for these three things that have given me that.

I’m continuously, and positively reinforced by my close friends (near & far), family I haven’t seen in ages who support and love unconditionally. And last but not least this unwavering desire to express creatively. Whether it be dance, writing or diy sewing project gifts for others.  It’s really saved me this year! Thankful for the “chin up” attitude to keep going, just like everyone else!
