I have a lot of fun.
I do a lot of crazy, amazing stuff.
I'm happy, mostly.
When you don't feel like anything is missing, you don't know to miss it, right?
But every now and then something creeps in and surprises you. Something you thought was never a possibility anyway and it upsets the balance.

My Best Friend's Wedding
My best friend got married this past weekend.
And I had an absolute blast at this wedding with my actual family, with people I consider my family, and with my friends.
Ten years ago Whitney would not have had fun at all. Ten years ago Whitney would have been upset over the people there that didn't like her, would have been self-conscious, would have been cowering and looking for an escape.
But I only just felt sorry for those people now, because being purposely and pointlessly nasty to other people only means that there is something broken in YOU, not in ME.
I hope they had fun too. I hope they were able to stop being catty long enough to notice the people there that loved them too. I hope one day they can be happy enough with their own lives that it's no longer a priority to try to belittle other people in order to feel worth and validity. I hope that eventually they will realize that kindness breeds kindness and that it goes SO much further than being mean.
My best friend is, without a doubt, the very kindest person I have ever met in my life. He is a prize. He will give his wife the stars if she asks, but I hope she doesn't. I hope she knows that she does not need the stars because she has the very best husband she could have been blessed enough to marry.
