#NerdsUnite: Confessions of an Unwed Bride (What I'm thankful for)

<editorsnote> Nerds, meet by buddy Julie! She's my roomie, we met on Craiglist, and she is 1,000 flavors of everything awesome sauce. The reason why she had a room in her apartment however is a mighty long story. See, Julie was dating a duderino for 8 years. Yep, they were engaged to be wed and all that snazzy jazzy stuff. Now the engagement is off and Julie is attempting to heal from her loss; these series of posts are her best attempt. HIT IT JULIE! </editorsnote>

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's ItsMeJoolie

I have so much to be grateful for this Thanksgiving. My job, all of my amazing friends, my pets and all the fun that I have had in the past few months.

But I am most thankful for me. For my strength. For not giving up on me. For not giving up on my life. It would have been so easy to let everything fall apart. To have stayed under the covers crying. To have not gone into work or just given up.

But I didn't.

I took my mess of a life and put each and every piece back together.

I made numerous decisions to work on bettering me, to build out the parts of my life that were lacking. I made the best decision ever; to stop waiting for life to find me and get out there and find life! Run to meet it and give it a high five.

Yes, I do miss parts of my old life, but I love this new life even more. I feel reborn and blessed.

This whole journey is what brought me to Talk Nerdy To Me Lover and to you, the readers. Thank you for all of the comments about my writing and for all of the love.

Be thankful for the good in your life and try to never let the bad overshadow the amazing.
