Family

Family? What is family?

For me family are people who accept
us for our quirks and love us anyways.
People who despite our differences,
enjoy spending time around us.

Families are people who are intentionally
involved in our lives even when it is not
easy or convenient for them necessarily.

In my case these attributes are exhibited
most genuinely in my friends who have
become our family and I am eternally
grateful and humbled by this.

Christmas Spirit

I wonder what is Christmas Spirit
and how do I get this Christmas
Spirit.

I imagine it to be feeling rested,
calm, joyous, generous, loving
and kind.

I have not felt rested since I
was twelve, seriously... I
remember it explicitly I
woke up and felt like I could
tackle the day!

This WAS 19 years ago,
The closest I come now is not
having a bunch of things scheduled
and having what we call PJ days.

The spirit of Christmas

Okay, so I'm just not feeling the spirit of Christmas.

I don't have the time to rest and rejuvinate let alone
get into the spirit of anything.

That just feels like one more thing to do.

I'm TIRED of doing something, I feel like my
life is one long series of something else I have
to do.

Even in saying that I feel selfish, I know there
are worst things out there
