Be thankful; Love always

Today I am writing a very specific piece about a very specific issue to some very specific people.

Maybe it is shitty of me to do bundle these people together into one giant thank you, so for that I apologize.

For anyone who reads this you may have followed the KSA saga. And you'll know that I have a fair number of friends who have worked to unearth some of the gems that have made the controversy possible. You'll also know that I have a good handful of friends who work for the KSA and are stuck in a weird realm of keeping the KSA services booming while having to be the ones to answer students' questions. Furthermore, these staff people are all working on keeping their sanity and every day I'm sure many of them are questioning what the whole situation means for them. And every day it tears me to pieces to know that they are seemingly hopelessly unhappy.

So today's blog post is about thankfulness and love.

It's possible that we're not thankful enough on a day-to-day basis. My mom sent me a cute chain e-mail about a week ago that pointed out a bunch of "crappy" things that happen in life that really are nice little reminders of how life has actually gone well (and really, if you think further on it, how life could be worse). And so...

I am so thankful for the people I know. For the people that this blog post is specifically about, I want you to know that your drive and your willingness to fight makes me feel exceptionally blessed. I don't think you realize how much so many of us owe you. Actually, I don't think many people even realize that they owe you. You are all amazing.

Love

Love love love. All I really want to say is that every day I want to send you all reminders of how awesome you are and how much I love you because I hope you never stop being you. But I don't, mostly because you already think I'm a little crazy. So I'll keep it cool. But I want you to know that I absolutely adore all of you. As mentioned above, your drive and your fight make you absolutely incredible. The world is so lucky that people like yourselves exist.

I hope this helps you feel a little better because I don't know what else to do. I mean, I know some things to do but for instant morale boost? Not a clue...
