How do you say thank you for the universe for opening your eyes?

A very frank and honest conversation over what I have to admit was an incredible dinner, has left me so grateful for everything I have. It is so easy for me, from where I am right now, to dwell on what I have left behind. But great friends and a great plan have made me see that in the past 16 months I have come so far, in some ways further than I ever could have in my home town. I now know how to give this city the chance that I never gave it before.

I will always miss those people dearest to me, and perhaps it is a matter of when not if, but that when is not now.
