It comes in waves. via /r/gratitude

In a nutshell, had to leave someone I still love and it hurts beyond measure. Every day when I wake up and remember, I sob. It hits at different moments in the day, and seems to just hurt more with each passing day. Not gonna lie, not really feeling all that grateful today, but I’m gonna try at least.

Today I am grateful it’s not that cold outside so I don’t have an excuse to stay in bed all day when getting up seems pointless.

Today I am grateful for love and compassion from random people on the internet who owe me nothing but have tried to make me feel better.

Today I am grateful for shish taouk, and that there is a restaurant within walking distance, because you better believe I’m eating my feelings right now.

Today I am grateful for my age and experience that has stopped me from sending him self-destructive messages or letting my emotions make bad choices.

Today I am grateful for the colour pink. Because frankly, it’s awesome.
