I don’t really care for the holidays, especially Thanksgiving. It always was too much work for too little pay off. I’d clean and cook and then everyone would gobble (pun intended) down the food and fall asleep in front of the TV until it was time for dessert then they’d eat that and go, leaving me with all the clean up. However this year is different. I have something, rather someone, to be thankful for. I found someone that makes me happy. Someone that challenges me, pushes me to be the best version of myself that I can be. Someone who saw what I was hiding deep inside and coaxed my true self out into the open. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would find him on a site like this. But I have and I am eternally grateful. Getting to know him has been an adventure. I haven’t had to interact this much with another person in a long time, and so intimately as well. He makes me feel things I thought were dormant, things that in the past had gotten me into situations because others didn’t understand. He has helped me regain some of my self confidence. He has really pushed me to think about how I want the world to see me, how I will present myself to others. He has taught me that as long as I am honest and true to myself then others opinions don’t carry as much weight as they used to. Right now it is his opinion that matters to me the most. I like to think I have been good for him too and that we will continue to grow closer and share more of ourselves with each other.
