Today I'm not particularly grateful for anything. My good karma has run out and my life is slowly going to pieces because I've been on a good streak for so long that I forgot how to deal with bullshit and stress. I guess I'm grateful for the fact that I can deal with my problems and not have to force them on others, and the knowledge that I managed to get through worse shit in the past, even if I don't know how I did it. It doesn't help that sympathy, no matter how sincere, seems patronizing rather than sympathetic.
It was kind of cool that a US congressional candidate invited me to a party today, though.
I'm grateful that it can get worse, but hasn't.
