When the Holidays Aren't Your Thing
It’s okay to feel things during the holidays
Thanksgiving and Christmas aren't times when we have to automatically forget everything that we’ve got going on in our lives.
It’s not a time where all negative emotions have to be thrown out of the window to make room for the holly jolly.
It’s okay if during the holidays things are too much for you. It’s okay if you feel overwhelmed by everything you’re facing.
The holidays aren't the magic antidote to all the problems you’ll ever face in your life. It’s okay if things aren’t magically better just because it’s the holidays.
If you need to feel things then that’s perfectly okay.
If holidays brings up bad memories…
For some people, holidays rakes up memories from the past that they’d rather forget.
Whether that’s memories of loved ones lost, relationships fallen apart, trauma experienced or whatever else.
The holidays can be a ridiculously hard time of year for so many people.
If you’re one of those people, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry that the holidays are hard for you.
