Cereal

✎ What are you most thankful for?
Cereal truly kept me alive in the darkest times of my life. He lied down next to my head when I passed out from my eating disorder. He licked my tears away. He didn’t let me in the bathroom alone because he knew I only went in there without him when I wanted to hurt myself. He moved across the country and back with me while I got my heart broken. I cuddled him every night and every time, my love for him won out over my hate for myself. I am grateful to have had such a beautiful reason to live.

Cereal was so clumsy ever since he was a kitten. For such a calm and kind cat he could get so silly, just running around and falling off the edge of my bed all the time and then slinking away like he was embarrassed. He made me laugh.
