Just a heads up this post is kinda all over the place, kinda like my thoughts. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy it.
Ahhh, feel the brisk chilling breeze that freezes you down to your core. The bright twinkling lights, the sound of carolers. Yep, that’s right it’s the Holiday season and Christmas is only 4 days away. Most people love this time of year. Spending time with their family and friends and significant others. Christmas is suppose to be the most cheerful and jolly time of the year but…. there are many who despise this time of year. usually because its also the most depressing and lonely time of the year if you don’t have people to spend it with.
Christmas is the worst, best, amazing, dreadful and stressful time of the year. Most people nowadays lost the true meaning of Christmas. Christians will say its about celebrating Jesus’s birth. Those who aren’t technical Christians will say its about family and then there are many who make it about gifts.But what about those who have no one to spend the holiday with those who this time of season just lead them into a undeniable depression.
Well today we are going to talk about how horrible this time of year is for people who have no one or those who feel they have no one. About those who’s families are all starting their own families and they aren’t. Just imagine, everyone around you are buying gift for the special people in their lives or planning to spend time with those who love them. While you sit there watching as what is suppose the most cheerful time of the year becomes the most lonely time of the year. You sit alone no plans with anyone, no SO to share your love with. Its a horrible feeling. Or you do have plans with your family but you are the only one who’s life doesn’t seem to be falling into place.
Now with that said me personally I have family and friends that I get to spend Christmas with but this year I was dreading it. Going to my families Christmas just my daughter and I while everyone else had their SO to go with. How was I going to deal with feeling so alone with all my family surrounding me all because I had no SO to share the experience with. Yes it may seem stupid cause I of course have my beautiful daughter but I still feel like the black sheep. My sister is married and has a son, my brother is engaged and has a son on the way and of course my parents have us and each other. Yet here I am….just my daughter and I. It makes you feel some sort of way when your whole family seems to have everything falling in place and they a starting a future for them and their own families while you…well you are single and you aren’t even sure if you’ll ever be married. They all know what their future holds and you? you don’t know what your future holds. there are promises of something working and you being able to start a future but they aren’t set in stone. It seriously makes this time of year dreadful. Cause you don’t want to feel like the odd man out. You don’t want to be the only one who’s life isn’t going smoothly. Yet you are, you are single and everyone else is happily in love. It is a sad and lonely feeling makes you feel like a outcast like you’d just be better sending your child to the get together while you stay home curled up under a blanket till this holiday is over. You feel like you have no one like you have no accomplishments to show for yourself.
But Guess What???? You gotta suck it up put your big girl panties on and suffer through it. One day you wont feel this way one day you wont dread the holiday. So smile, spread some Christmas cheer and if you see someone who looks lonely and sad reach out a helping hand and make them known they are not alone this Holiday Season.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays or whatever you believe in 😀
