Tis the season of feeling bad about myself. Have the first functions of the season this weekend, and I know I’ll be hearing about everyone’s great achievements, new jobs, holidays, houses, family updates etc. And as always I have nothing to say, and feel like the rooms most boring looser. I know it shouldn’t matter but Christmas always make me feel extra lonely, and because it’s at the end of the year I feel like it’s another year gone and I’ve done nothing. Sorry for the bah humbug.
I know it sucks, especially if you’ve had challenges or barriers that others haven’t. But don’t worry about keeping up with the Jones and all the rat race shit. You may find that behind a lot of flashy things lies a lot of stress and hidden debt.
Don’t compare your life to other’s highlights reels. Don’t let unequal outcomes affect your self esteem.
The challenges part is very real. I need to remind myself of this.
I understand how you feel 🫂
Bah the Many Bugs. We don’t Christmas, and really only Solstice in a very private way.
I like your style

I feel the same because the things I have done are things most people don’t care about or think are worth bragging about, I don’t care because I don’t measure myself against them using their yardstick, I use my own
being a good kind person doing small things on a daily basis is a feat in itself and something worthy being happy about
and in this historic time not being awful is something good 👍
