Thanksgiving is upon us, and I can truly say that I love this time of year. I feel like we always want to rush into the holiday season and not spend a lot of time on Thanksgiving, but there are things that we often don't give thanks to that truly deserve it; it's usually the little things in life that we neglect, but these often matter the most. I feel bad for not formally appreciating these things for all of these years, given the support they have provided me. These things do more for me than I could ever ask them to do, and I hope that after this they know how much they mean to me. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for them. Here's a list of things that I am grateful for:

1. Cinnamon rolls

How does one express their thankfulness for something that is too good for this world? Their selflessness has gotten me through rough times. When I needed someone, they were always there. Thank you, cinnamon rolls, for bettering the world. There's never a day that goes by where I'm not grateful.

2. Menchie's Frozen Yogurt

This could be the solution that we need to achieve world peace. It's like a therapy I never knew I needed, and I feel at peace every time I walk out of my local Menchie's. This frozen yogurt helps me make rational decisions and I don't know what I'd do without it. I'm so thankful.

3. Fruit

Mother Nature did me a solid when she made fruit. I've grown up alongside it, and I can say that our relationship hasn't changed. Fruit never turned its back on me and although it can get sour with the seasons, it always comes back as beautiful as ever (but it won't if we don't get serious about our bees, whoops). Anyways, I love you, fruit, and I thank you for always being there for me.

4. Chocolate chip cookie brownies

Whoever invented these deserves a Nobel Prize. Taking two very pure and beautiful things and combining them was an act that only a genius could do. I want to thank not only chocolate chip cookies, but brownies. You guys have really changed my life.

5. Peanut butter

You've got to be the purest substance on the planet. I put you on things that I probably shouldn't, but it's just because you always make me so happy. There's not a day that goes by where I don't take you out of the cupboard and admire the beauty that is you. Your existence makes me grateful.
