The ideal Thanksgiving dinner

My ideal Thanksgiving dinner would consist of the usual food that most Thanksgiving dinners have. There would be mashed potatoes, turkey, candied yams, honey glazed ham, cranberry sauce and any other foods that would go with such a meal. Just the basic foods that you see at most Thanksgiving dinners. The people that would help me with the dinner would be both my friends and family. I would love to watch my family try and follow all of our traditional recipes, only to have my friends butt in and do something completely different. The people that I would enjoy this meal with would be the same people that helped me cook it, my friends and family. It would be nice to have a meal that we all cooked together and to enjoy said meal together and to bond on such a special holiday. I would like to see my friends and family meet under such good circumstances and to have them bond in such a unique way.

My family

One thing I would die or fight  for would be my family. I would die for them because, well, they are my family and they raised me and helped me through life. I would do anything for them because instead of giving up on me or abandoning me they put time and effort and love into raising me. When I am sick they take me to the doctor, when I am sad they cheer me up and they support me through all and are always there for me and willing to help. There is nothing past or present that I would put in front of my family, and I know they feel the same about me. So of course I would fight and willingly die for them, because they have always done the same for me. I will always stand by their side and do everything in my power to defend them, because they are my family and blood will always be thicker than water no matter what the situation is.

Characteristic

One characteristic I like about myself is my optimism and my ability to make myself and others happy in an uncomfortable situation. My way of relieving tension and awkwardness in a situation is through humor. When my friends are upset I try to remain positive and use humor to cheer them up. Sometimes this does not work, and is actually considered annoying, but this is the only comforting tactic I know. Other times though my friends actually feel much better and are more happy than before. No matter what the situation is I try to bring happiness and humor to make others feel better. Sure, sometimes it is hard to find the good side in a situation but there is almost always on there, people may just have to look a little closer. Not only is there a bright side, but I have always thought there was a little room for humor too. Little bursts of humor here and there can make all the difference in someones day, whether it will be a good one, or a bad one.

Art & Technology

Art and technology are important aspects in my life because they help relax me. After a long day at school, being able to come home and and just play a video game or draw a picture releases my tension and allows me to forget about the bad parts of my day. It is like a pressure relief valve, allowing me to let some steam off in the form of art or just sitting on my laptop. Technology also helps a great deal and lets me explore my interests. I can watch or learn about my favorite show or web series through technology. I am able to put my problems aside for awhile and watch someone else have to deal with the struggles of life. Art is a big impact too because I get to create something and throw all my emotion into it. Whether that emotion is anger, sadness, or even loneliness, it can go into the painting or drawing. Overall, both art and technology are forms of release in my life and without them I would be far more stressed.
