christmas must be something more

yesterday: christmas.
it was hard not being with my family.
but i learned what christmas is really about.
it's about giving.
it's about loving.
it's about being with people you love.


i love all the people here.
they are some of the sweetest,
nicest,
smartest,
most amazing people i have ever met.
i have made some lifelong friends here, 
simply because they are so understanding.
these people are here for the same reason as me.
they are here because they don't know how to deal with life.
they are here because they try to be  happy for too long,
and then they fall apart.
just like me.
it's fantastic.


in other news:
my concussion hurts when i cry.
fish tanks are the single most calming things in the world.
(i have spent a combination of ... like 16 hours this week sitting in front of this fish tank.)
2 of the patients are getting married!!
(he proposed with a paper ring. so cute(: that's love. l-o-v-e)
i officially give up on a certain person.
i wish i could leave here, but then again i don't.
(i love how simple life is when you don't have to worry about anything.)
i watched tangled yesterday!
and for therapy, i painted a picture. 
with paint pens.
one of my friends went home yesterday.
best christmas present ever, i think(:


over all, i think this was the best christmas ever(:
unconventional, yes.
but good nonetheless(:
