Thankful

I am thankful for so much. I am thankful for my family, all of whom have supported every single part of me since I was small. They have not wavered in their faith in who I am even when I have. I am thankful for my friends, because they have been my support throughout it all. I'm thankful I have friends all over the world, who might not be close in distance but always stay close in my heart. Although I wish I could see you all more often, I love that when we do get chances to be close it's as though no time has past. I am thankful for past loves that helped me grow.

Now pay attention to this. 
It's important.

I am thankful for you.

Bloggers. I'm not sure how you do it all. I am so thankful that you have the courage to blog about what you're passionate about. I have so much respect for all of you. I love that most of you are creating positive posts with positive words. Your job is difficult, but so so important. I am thankful for all of you.

Authors. I get it. I get you because I am one of you. Still, I respect you all because you are all different. It's interesting to think how much of us are our books and how much isn't. I love the author friends I've made all over the world. I am so thankful that each of you is brave enough to write from your heart. 

Writers. Even if you have not published a book, you are brave for writing. Know that. Believe that. I am thankful that there are those of you who wish to change the way the world sees itself. There are those of you who want to write positive words that influence us all, and for that I am so thankful.

Readers. It's all about you guys, I hope you know that. I am so thankful for readers because I am a reader. We all are. I am so thankful that we can get lost in books. I am so thankful that we can escape reality and find a good book to read. I am so thankful that there is so much love in the reading community. I am thankful for you all.

Most of all, I am thankful that I know words can be whatever you want them to be. Stories can be real. Love can come true. Reality does not have to be real if you don't want it to be. Life is whatever you make it. Books can change worlds. Positivity is better. Your imagination can free you. Nothing in this world is impossible. Reality is not a thing but a state of mind, and it is forever changing.
