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
