And now it is gone. Done. Over with for another 365 days. Why do I dislike the holidays? To be certain I always have. And it is always brimming full of tragic events, death and unhappiness. This is why I dislike holidays. They always fill me with dread, reminding me of pass events - ghosts in my head.
I thought about it for a while, it took longer than I thought. But when I had to accept the fact that I am required to participate, regardless of whether or not I want to, I had to find a way out.
My way out? Moments. Simple moments. That is how I get through these times. If I live in a moment, it is gone - be it good or bad. But if I dwell on the good moments, the very slightest of joy - it helps me to get through.
I could tell years of stories of why I dislike the holidays but I've already done that. Therefore, I will just be in the moment. This moment.
