I'm grateful that I once shared my bed with Shadow.
I'm grateful that I once felt loved by Gatita.
I'm grateful that I once got to work for a spa that I utterly loved.
I'm grateful that I was once financially stable.
I'm grateful that I once felt great passion for my creative works.
I'm grateful that I once knew my purpose, and my place in the world.

...

Some of these things will never be the case again. But I'm hopeful that, those things which can change for the better, maybe will. 🙏
