Year of the Flood
Happy Flood-iversary, Helen, Dettie, Al, and Piggy!
In the past year, I’ve cried hundreds of times; been on several types of medication; given up a great job; let my music skills wither; lost contact with countless people; broken someone’s heart; and racked up thousands in student fees with nothing to show for it so far.
Fortunately, even my pessimism has taken a beating this year, as I’ve been overwhelmed by how fantastic you all are. I’ve made friends who can make me smile without even trying (Jordy); had the pleasure of living with two of the best housemates I’ll probably ever meet (Dettie, Whit); loved two amazingly beautiful women (Helen, Heather); helped raise a totally cuddly ratbag of a cat (Percy); become part of a family of gorgeous trashy queers (Mario, Krandall, Piggy, Patrick); and on top of all that, I have more best friends that I’m yet to even make (Mck).
Oh, and my doctors are all really great.
It would have a been a very different year if I didn’t have the love and support of all you beautiful people, and the patience of my awesome parents. Thank you for making the very worst year of my life into something that I am very conflicted about reflecting upon.
Nic
P.S. Anyone I haven’t named, you already know that I appreciate you.
