A Toast

to good friends, and to true friends.
for validating our insanity, attesting to our madness, and all the nervous breakdowns in between.

to family.
they see us at our worst, choose to believe we are better than that, and stick with us because they still think they can change us.
foolish?
maybe.
but was it not the people we call the greatest philosophers of our time who said that fools are the ones who dream without awareness of restriction, believe unconditionally, and eventually succeed?

and finally, to the good Lord.
for sparing my life on countless occasions--literally and figuratively, reminding me that i am worth more that i wish i am.
