Re: The five things you would like to thank your SC most for

I'm splitting mine up because, although they've all helped me in similar ways, I
think it's only right to give the personal recognition.
So I am incredibly thankful for...

Genesis:
1. His enthusiasm, curiosity and joyfulness.
2. Getting me through high school! I cannot possibly thank him enough for that.
3. Continuing to stand by me, even when I'm feeling completely 'off,' because he refuses to let me be alone and in pain.
4. His patient honesty and refusal to let me lie to myself.
5. The fact that he forced me to live better, simply by walking into my life. I don't regret a single moment I've spent with him.

Laurie:
1. Her brutal, brutal honesty. She isn't afraid to confront me, ever, even about things I previously refused to even acknowledge on my own.
2. Helping me (and many others) solve problems I didn't even know I had, as well as problems I never thought I'd conquer.
3. Protecting me against some truly vicious attacks, more times than I can count, and going FAR out of her way to keep me safe at all times.
4. Her unconditional desire to help me be my true self, and let go of my old fears and doubts, even when she is absolutely furious with me. Without her I'd be pretty lost!
5. The unusual and understated sort of love she's shown me over the past few years. It means the world to me.

Chaos:
1. His kindness, love of life, and brilliant sense of humor.
2. The incredible amount of inspiration and guidance he's given me over the years.
3. His emotional depth. It's hard to explain, but when I compare him to an ocean I'm not exaggerating. It's almost poetic. I've learned so much from him.
4. The fact that, when I'm around him, it is literally impossible for me to be false or broken or 'wrong.' He helps me remember who I AM, even in the darkest times.
5. His love, completely and absolutely. When I met him he changed my entire heart, and made me a better man. I am forever thankful for his presence in my life, and for the love we have.
