I'm grateful for the fact that my family and friends are not only very supportive, but also very accepting. I still havent come out to them yet because I'm a total wuss or something, but I dont have to worry about what happens when I do, thanks to how great they are.
I'm grateful for all the other things they do for me as well. My family helps me with stuff all the time. My friend is extremely generous... gave me an entire Xbox and like 12 games, just out of nowhere. How lucky must I be, to be surrounded by great people like that.
I'm grateful to have access to the kind of money that I do. I'm well aware that very, very few people have that kind of amount. And it means I dont have to worry about quite a lot of things that would cause most people a bunch of problems. And I can do my hobbies as I please.
Speaking of which, I'm grateful to have my hobbies and interests! I used to only really have one... two, maybe. Got stuck in a rut, mental health suffered bad. My father gave the very strong suggestion that I get out of that rut by getting some real variety. It worked.
I'm grateful to the people who design all the board games I love. I have such a good time with them, and the tactile element of them is very good from a sensory point of view (usually). Same with the twisty puzzles.
I'm grateful for my car. It's not just any car... it belonged to my late grandparents, who both passed away in these last couple of years. When the time came for my grandfather to hand it down to someone (when he hit the point where it was no longer safe for him to drive), it could have gone to any of my 5 bazillion cousins. But it went to me for some reason. That makes it very special. It helps my stepmother too... the car's presence acts as a reminder of all the good times she had with them. Also it keeps me from going crazy. I need to get out of the house at least once every couple of days or I get a bit loopy.
I'm grateful for the astonishing technology that I have access to. It gets progressively more ridiculous as time goes on. All of these gizmos would have just blown my mind right out my ears if I'd seen any of it as a kid.
As recent tech goes, I'm grateful to be able to easily access pretty much every type of AI. As I'm technically minded, it was inevitable that I'd connect with these. And they are very helpful in helping me learn new things, it turns out. VERY helpful. Among the crazy amount of other things they can do.
I'm grateful for Advil. Just... yeah. Advil.
I'm grateful for this weird room I'm in. For this weird house. The "Hollywood room" (where I'm at right now), the odd but super comfy basement, the pond, the fish in the pond, the frogs that come from who knows where to visit the pond (seriously I've not figured that part out yet)
Grateful for my arm brace. I doubt I have to explain what that does.
And last but certainly not least, I'm grateful for my totally perfect dogs. I'd do anything for them. They run the house, and they know it, the lovable goofballs.
