Thanksgiving

As i ponder the events of the last few days, i am struck by one thing- That i have been blessed with a group of loyal and dedicated friends that have stuck through good times and bad, over the last 9 years.

Its the 9 year friends i pay tribute to now- We are all not perfect. The circumstances that brought us together might be unremarkable, but it sparked a fellowship that spanned tumultous times, even after breaking into different JCs, units, and Universities.

Reminiscing the past is a luxury that i indulge in too much. There are too many shared memories to recall right now, and anything short of an anthology of short stories would not do the fellowship justice.

Sadly in life, many things are not certain. Life brings its own ups and downs, a veritable rollercoaster ride of joy and sorrow.

But for me, theres always a bastion to return to, a 9 year pillar of friendship thats build on bonds too strong to be broken by word or action, a shelter of warmth and tolerance.

And for this i give thanks. For all the shit we did together and went through. For every bad joke i told, for every strangled chicken cry from jah, every false memory planted by lee, every clubbing story tim tells, every disgusting personal habit tay has, every gay action KH does, every strange story huili tells.

I give thanks.
