I'm thankful for memories... ...and I'm thankful for moments.  I'm thankful for experience... ...and I'm thankful for innocence.  I'm thankful for words... ...and I'm thankful for the things that words can't describe.  I'm thankful for color... ...and I'm thankful for black & white.  I'm thankful for noise... ...and I'm thankful for quiet.  I'm thankful for sunshine... ...and I'm thankful for moonlight.  I'm thankful for answers... ...and I'm thankful for questions.  I'm thankful for people who laugh with me... ...and I'm thankful for people who cry with me.  I'm thankful for eighteen years of life and love... ...and I'm thankful for many more to come.  Happy Thanksgiving, lovelies. <3
