First and foremost, I wanna wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving, even the one's who don't celebrate it. Through this past month, a lot of positive changes have been happening in my life, and I didn't know how to express them to everyone here on FA that would make sense to everyone here; a poem would have been too short and tedious and a short story would have been (ironically) too long and involved with the story for me to get my point to everyone. So I decided to just write an illustrative monologue after watching the end of "Scrooged" earlier this morning with Bill Murray and Kary Allen, directed by Richard Donner.

So here it goes:


As Stevie Wonder once said, I am a man of many wishes. My life has been filled with dreams and ambitions, reaching for the stars only to grab galaxies in my attempts of success. I treasure each and every accomplishment just as much as I treasure those who have been behind me since day one; my family. True; sometimes I feel like I don't belong. Sometimes it feels like we're from two completely different worlds. Then again, its that truth that makes me appreciate them all the more; an alien stranded on a strange world that adopted them and welcomed them as their own. I am aware that it sounds like a cliched story pitch for the origin of a superhero, but that is indeed the case. My mother, my father, my sisters, my nephews and nieces -- as annoying as they can be sometimes -- always have my happiness and interests at heart. And for that, I say thank you.

And what is a man without good friends? No, let me correct myself; GREAT friends. It seems that with every step I take in this world, I can't help but to attract the ones that are always there for me when I need them; to always catch me when I fall and help me dust myself off so I can continue on my way. And every time I stray my eyes from the balance beam before me, they are right by my side; waiting to catch me again if I were to slip and go through the process once again.

The Golden Rule can be implied here: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I say without any vanity that I make sure to open myself for any of my friends that need my comfort, no matter how new or old they are to my life. Certain examples can be found even on this site. Whereas I have had the greatest privilege to be with my real-life friends, each and every one of you on Fur Affinity mean the world to me. Whether we became friends through notes, a comment or two left behind on my work, or through my own pursuit because of your personality; I treasure and thank each and every one of you for making my life worth while.

To Langdon and  charkonian; this ode is to you. Both of you have known each other way longer before I ever decided to gain the courage to make my presence known on this site, yet you have both let me into your life with a warm affectionate hug; something I thought was only acceptable from those you knew for a lengthy period of time. It is true; some of my own pursuits were necessary for you to let me into your lives. But in the end, it was worth it.

Langdon, you're so much stronger than you believe yourself to be. You claim that you are somewhat insignificant; that you don't know how to defend or speak up for yourself. But from the period that I've known you, I can tell that is indeed not the case. You have went through many hardships in your life, yet have been able to overcome them all -- in most cases, fix them completely. Now you tell me; does that sound like someone insignificant? You have no idea how proud I am of you, Lang. You've come a long way, and I am so thankful to have gotten the chance to get to know you.

And Chark. *chuckles* Chark, Cark, Chark; my long-lost brother. What a pursuit you turned out to be, huh? From the moment I read a few of your short stories, I immediately knew that you were the kind of guy I wanted to be around. And after the ordeal you sent me through just to get what I needed to get in touch with you, I can honestly say that it was incredibly worth it. And with that said, I must tell you this. You have no idea how many people on this planet need someone like you. With your heart of gold, your merciless dedication, your tender smile and even your outlooks on life. God knew what he was doing when he made you. And all of the circumstances you had to go through will indeed pay off in the end; I guarantee it. Thank you for being a friend to me, Chark; you're one of the best one's I have ever made.

And if this holiday officially starts the season for miracles, I would be a complete idiot not to acknowledge mine. Ko-Koa, you have no idea how much you mean to me. Before I met you, I was under the impression that love for me was impossible. *Smiles* Then I run across one of the first pictures you drew of Joey and Kyle, linking them to the profile page of a happy Malamute dog who would soon become a mighty dragon; my dragon. You give me hope that is unrecognizable; you always make sure that you are there for me whenever I need you. I only wish I can do more for you; to show you how much your presence matters in my life. I can only tell you how much I anticipate feeling your arms wrap around me, or waking up to your smiling face before it becomes routine. But just hearing you tell me that you love me is enough to make me stronger; more determined to want to make my life all the more worth wile both for me and for you. The day you said those three words to me, I was finally happy. And I won't rest until I return the favor.

Thank you for being my miracle, Ko-Koa. I love you with all my heart. <3

You all are a great bunch to have read up to this point. XD

Once again, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. May it be the first of many glorious days to come.
