i am thankful for everyone whos ever stepped on me, walked all over
me, put me down, told me i was worthless, let me think i didnt
matter, let me cry over them, laughed when i fell flat on my a**,
enjoyed my suffering or refused to help me. you made me what i
am today. enjoy your creation.
i am thankful for everyone who has ever picked me up when i am down,
dusted off the bootprints of the jackasses i know, held me in
their arms and told me it was alright, told me i mattered, wiped
the tears from my eyes, helped me knock the jerks that put me
there flat on their collective a**, helped me when it would have
been better for them to just take care of themself first, and tried
to dull the pain. you give me the strength to go on when i just
want to lock myself in my colset.

so that basicly sums it all up. have a happy thanksgiving.
