Just going to put this out there. This is going to be a WEIRD holiday season and I want y’all to know that I’m here if you need someone. 14 years ago my world imploded on Dec 3 and the holidays have been HARD ever since. 1/
On that day I found out that I was getting a divorce after moving across the country less than a year earlier for his work. I suddenly found myself in Toronto by myself living in a nightmare. I wasn’t sure I would live to see January 1 that year. 2/
I’m estranged from most of my nuclear family which compounds at holiday time and I’ve spent many Christmases crying alone. Ive since created my own way to manage this season but I 100% understand how lonely this can feel. 3/
Ironically this year is the first time in 14 years where I have been able to manage this season without medication and multiple trips to my psychologist. I have no idea why that is but I suspect it’s related to fewer peeps celebrating. 4/
That’s a pretty sad fact but it actually helps that Christmas isn’t in my face every day while people talk about how loved they are and how amazing their holidays with family will be. 5/
So yeah. If you need a person at any point this season I’m totes here for you! Message me, reply here, send a carrier pigeon and the Lamb has got you! I offer snark and dark humor - it’s always worked for me! 6/
Normally I’d just invite you over for a meal and a bunch of one but you know, pandemics! So maybe we would have to FaceTime or google meet or even snail mail it up! 7/
And please don’t be scared that you will freak me out. You won’t. I’ve seen it all and experienced most of it too. I got you, friends. Fin.
