Had a Christmas Eve get together with my family, since we won't all be able to be together on Christmas Day, and it was wonderful. I hosted this year, but now that everyone has left for home, my house feels empty and lonely.

Tomorrow will be a blur and then Christmas is over for another year and I go back to counting the days until Halloween.

I really wish I could slow down time from October to January, but instead I try to enjoy the moments where I can.

A lot of people struggle this time of year. Something about the disconnect between a generally joyous season and the difficult things life throws at people regardless of season.

Not everyone can be jolly. The stark contrast can make pain deeper.

Be kind to each other.

Forse il #ChristmasBlues passa molto dal concetto di ricorrenza e bilancio.

Io "ne soffro" da una ventina d'anni, ma credo sia solo un punto esclamativo nella normale depressione con cui convivo:

l'idea che cento passi avanti ti sembra di averne fatti duecento indietro, delle persone che non ci sono più, degli affetti e amici in difficoltà e di un senso di disperazione (con un bisogno d'attenzione e d'amore
troppo se mi vuoi bene piangi) forse fanno il resto

è dura, ma panta rei
