I’m the worst with this but really need to shape up. Family is hard because my mom was mostly my family. I’d see my aunts, uncles and cousins occasionally but never made that much of an effort. Friends, I’ve never been someone who had a ton of friends but didn’t do a good job of keeping in touch with even the ones I considered close friends. Like I said, I need to shape up.
I spent today in seclusion, hiding behind texts and avoiding phone calls. Trying to push thoughts of the last couple of years out of my head was futile. This is my first Christmas since Mom died and spending the day wishing for things that cannot be didn’t change a thing, and let me with puffy eyes. What can I say? The masochist in me visited for the holiday.
