i don’t say this as often as i should…

…but I’m blessed. Not only with the most functional, loving family I know, but with wonderful friends. There are two in particular who, upon hearing about my potential future plans, haven’t hesitated in supporting me whole-heartedly. I only belatedly realized how conflicted they must have been when they heard the good news, and how much they’ve worked to bury that conflict so I wouldn’t have to see it.

Their selflessness is inspiring. I won’t meet very many people like that, wherever I go.
