It’s been long overdue. I don’t think I have expressed the extreme gratitude I feel for my family and friends and how they have helped me during this transition.
I would list each individually, but I wouldn’t do them justice. Plus, with my horrible memory, I would most certainly forget someone important and do them a disservice.
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, more than I can count. I’ve had opportunities that I’ve squandered, been foolish with what I’ve had, and taken for granted the status quo. I’ve not fostered good relationships with my closest family and friends and have held grudges for way too long.
I don’t deserve the blessings I’ve received from family and friends.
I hope that I’m changing though. I’m working really hard to make sure I don’t take advantage of the help I’ve received. If you’ve been fortunate enough to see my new apartment, you’ll see I’m not buying lavish furnishings or filling my fridge with non-essentials. I’m not going out and partying or buying things I don’t need. I’m living as minimally as I can until I get to the point where I can either repay what’s been given to me, or be in a position to return the favors that I’ve received.
Even if I match the financial help I’ve received in kind, it still won’t be enough in my mind to repay fully how much it has helped.
All I can say is, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
