(the mackerel)

I'm thankful for all the sunrises I've gotten to see. I'm thankful that I've gotten to see them alone and with the people I love, and that I get to see many many more. Even still, I'm thankful for the nighttime in the city. Nothing is ever too quiet around here, and I don't get left alone with my thoughts often. This is nice so that I don't get lost in myself. I rarely get to see the moon behind all the clouds and light pollution, but when I do I feel grounded. Whether I'm looking at the sunrise or the moon, I know that I'm not the only one looking up. In that sense, I'm thankful that even when I'm lonely, I'm not alone.
