For The Girl Who Dreads The Holidays

 

The holidays rolling around is supposed to be a cheerful time. The eggnog, cheer, family get togethers, fuzzy blankets, Christmas lights, snow, and movies are things that most people tend to look forward to. They look forward to spending time with their loved ones or families, happily making new memories while conversing on what has happened in the time that has passed.

You on the other hand, feel a massive sense of loss and nostalgia whenever this season comes.

You remember times where there used to be family events, love and laughter. Maybe you never had the experience at all. It isn’t always for the exact same reason, but the feeling is always the same.

You watch as friends post pictures with their siblings and loved ones. You see everyone laughing and smiling, and wonder what cruel force in life has denied you the experience. If you haven’t been denied the experience, maybe you’re the black sheep of the family, or maybe you disagree with your families religious beliefs.

 

Whatever the case, know this:

You are not alone.

There are so many others who feel exactly the same. That hole in your heart is going to be filled someday. You will have a family. A wonderful man will walk into your life. Whatever feud or judgement separating you from your family will be resolved in some from or another. In the meantime, know that you are absolutely beautiful, and you don’t deserve to ever feel that way.

If someone doesn’t love you enough to want your marvelous and quirky personality around, then it is their loss.

You are amazing and don’t you ever, ever forget it.
