A Post-Thanksgiving Gratitude

My family is in WA, and everyone else is in CA.

Blogging is exciting but also low-key scary. Sometimes I forget that some of my innermost thoughts are exposed to the internet, but it’s okay, we are all girls. 

Every holiday, I visit my extended family in California. I’m actually writing from here now. It’s weird. I love my state and my friends, but whenever I come here I feel like I’m missing a whole other life I could’ve had. It’s like making a Pinterest dream board and realizing that you’ll never wake up at 8 A.M. for Pilates. It’s a different life that could happen but will never happen. 

But then I think about the other side, how some of my relatives never experienced snow. They can’t see the mountain while scraping off the ice on their windshield before school. They don’t know the feeling of the first rainfall in late September. 

What I am saying is to be thankful for what you have or where you live, because there might be another girl on the other side longing for it.

Happy late Thanksgiving, I am thankful for you all <3.
