Holidays basically just cause me pain and anxiety.

After years of being unhappy, I realized that happiness is a decision we must consciously make. Simple as that. Life's too short for anything else.

I told my family several years ago not to bother me for Christmas, New Year's, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Mother's/Father's Day, 4th of July, or any of the other bullshit holidays. I just want to be left the fuck alone.

Thank you.

I don't mind Christmas/New Years. Okay that is once a year.

BUT EVERY FUCKING MONTH IS SOMETHING ELSE???

Can I please just live my life!?

Phew. yeah, I need to just say no and do what I need to do man.

I get anxiety... Nervous cause I
don't want to participate.


I got ridiculed last night cause
I didn't want to go to my sister in laws
breakfast this morning.

She invited me through a third person,
I see her once a year maybe...
She puts that condemnation
on me about not wanting to get
out...plus I dont
want to eat her processed
canned biscuits.


I hate having to be responsible for
all the celebration days.

I really do...

The thing I don't like about Holidays is being all alone.

If they were not built up to be this big honking deal then it would not matter.

That said, if you feel alone all the time in your life I'm very sorry and I hope things change and you find some friends and love.

But to be all upset because you are alone on this one artificially created day is just wrong. Not that YOU are wrong...the system is wrong for setting people up to be alone and miserable or super stressed and overwhelmed.

How about just one nice holiday a year where we celebrate EVERYTHING and we do it with people we want to do it with. People who are far from family can kind of join in with neighbors/friends/co-workers.

Fuck this nuclear family, even extended family shit. You should CHOOSE your family. If your birth family is great, then awesome. But if they suck you should be able to walk away and not be questioned or have the eye-rolls and "oh poor you" routine.

There has to be a better way.
