Christmas Eve service was really nice..a lot of togetherness and worship; especially love the candlelight portion!! Dyed my hair again today before

@foldedunfolding Sounds like you’ve had a mix of ups and downs today! It’s totally alright to need some alone time to process, but it’s awesome that you could snap out of that mood and be with your friend. How’s everything feeling now?

@MambaJuice The community of the service really helped focus me on peace and the reason behind why I celebrate....I have been missing my nieces and nephews something FIERCE..so I definitely just try to lick my wounds alone during the holidays...took my best friend in from a DV situation where he was the victim..so I love having him around but have to tell him sometimes that I need alone time!! Thanks for caring, sincerely

@foldedunfolding I respect how you’re showing up for him that matters. But you can’t pour from an empty cup, and it’s important you give yourself room to breathe too. Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish, especially around the holidays when everything feels heavier than usual.
I know missing family isn’t easy, but I hope you’re still finding moments of peace whether that’s through the service work you’re doing or just slowing things down and being still for a minute. You do a lot for the people around you, and I’m sure they see that. Just don’t forget to extend that same care to yourself. What’s been helping you stay grounded through all of this

@CountScrofula aww thank you..yes it really helped to be around some peace, even if I was surrounded by mostly strangers xoxo

@Bexsy thanks Bex, love you! Merry Christmas, got you a new puppy!!

@foldedunfolding love you too, a puppy! Ohmygoshhhhh 🥹
