Christmas is here. For many it is a time of celebration and happiness, for some it is not. It can be a difficult time filled with grief and sorrow. So for those of you that feel like Christmas is a little bit different this year, that’s ok. Christmas isn’t all sunshine and rainbows and you should feel ok with not feeling ok.
I understand, many people use holidays such as Christmas as somewhat of a checkpoint.
A checkpoint to see where you are at the end of the year so to speak, each time they come around we see all the things that have changed or have not changed this year.
We’re flooded with the feeling of familiarity, the meeting of friends, the time off from work and the time spent with family.
We are also met with the incredible awareness that things have changed (professionally or personally) since the last time you decorated the Christmas tree.
Maybe you’ve seen some heartbreak this year. Maybe you’ve been left go of your job. Or maybe you’ve lost a loved one. Maybe you’ve done some healing. No matter what you’ve seen or experienced you must not forget you have grown.
I’m so proud of you for that. For all you’ve made it through this year and will continue to get through as the promise of a new year is upon us. You should be proud of yourself.
Whether this Christmas feels heavy or light, even if your heart is caught between familiarity or change, my DMs will be open through the holidays, if you or anyone you know needs anything reach out.
Merry Christmas you amazing people!
Oh I almost forgot! Drink your damn coffee over the Christmas period it’ll help deal with trying to figure out what day it is 🥴
