25 was a damn weird year
So, if you’re coming into my life, especially right now, I am so sorry because shit’s all kinds of turned around.

I turned 25 and I feel like everything just sort of shat on itself and then I rose from the shit ashes like a shit Phoenix and just stood there sort of shitty and proud, unsure of what to do next. I’ve decided in my last few weeks of being 25, I’m going to do something literally no one asked for, and write an I’m sorry and a thank you to each person or group of people who impacted me this year. Like an Oscar speech, but less.
To:
My parents: YALL SOME BAD BITCHES. Thank you for being supportive and helping finance the show. Sorry I can’t pay you back/didn’t give you a producer credit.
My sister: Thank you for making me feel like I have an influence somewhere. Sorry I set the bar so high for you. I’m joking. Or am I?
My pals (improv, Texas, angel babies, and otherwise): Thanks for being idiots with me and coming to all my shitty comedy stuff with no complaints. I’m sorry I’m not the nicest initially, but thanks (double whammy) for looking past it.
My boyfriend: Thanks for showing me what a relationship can be like and for being so patient with me. Sorry I took so long to open up. Also sorry I’m not completely there yet.
My boyfriend’s parents: Thanks for treating me like a member of your family when I definitely don’t deserve it yet. Sorry that I am so awkward around you still. I have a personality, I promise.
My boyfriend’s friends: Thanks for being so kind so quickly. I’ve never been in a relationship where I loved the friends of my boyfriend as easily. Sorry I keep inviting you to stuff in the city.
My duet partner: Thanks for indulging my hobbies and making me feel like there’s something there to even pursue. Sorry I’m always calling you grandpa.
My ex-boyfriend: Thanks for teaching me to recognize how I want to be treated, and also constantly making me feel funny — since I was so much funnier than you. Sorry, because sometimes I was legitimately very crazy.
My roommate: Thanks for taking me in as an orphan and being so easy to live with. Sorry I’m not cleaner, but I’m trying! I wiped down the counters and Swiffered tonight!
My improv team: YO, YALL. Thank you for goofing with me and helping me out of my own head. Sorry if I ever pimped you out on stage. I didn’t mean to.
My coworkers: Thanks for welcoming me so openly and being so cool to me right off the bat. Sorry I wasn’t cool back until January.
