Sending love to the people that don't enjoy holidays 🖤

It's almost over.

It's okay to not enjoy it, it's okay to hate it. Not everyone gets the family and love or gifts that this seasonal celebration is centered around. It's hard to cope with the darker emotions as it is, so being surrounded with "cheer" feels like torture. And not the fun kind.

Let go of the expectations.

Cry your tears.

Say bahumbug.

Not to take anything away from those who feel joy, but because you matter in all of this too.

I’m trying my best, mostly for the youngsters. Adults in my life understand how I feel. May not agree but willing to give me space.

@SageWanderer Thank you for trying for the kiddos. That might be all that's left of it, maybe even all there ever was. I don't know anymore. I'm trying my best to be stable for my son but I could cry non-stop if I was able.
