Happy Holidays?

I love this time of the year. There's a sense of warmth and purity. There's a safety and goodness. It's a beautiful thing. Although I can't help but think it's a time of naivity. It's an escape. We're surrounded by lights, festive music and extragavent decor. We shower each other with gifts and remember whats important. We reflect and reminisce. We celebrate.

I love this time of the year. I like the escape. I like the naivity. But I find that it's bitter sweet. We get ready for the new year and hope for the best. It's exciting, but expectations are high and change inevitable. Amongst all the beauty and holiday spirit, I'm left with an unsettling feeling deep inside. I feel a weight of sadness on my heart. I'm constantly reminded by the disappointment people may face and the lonliness they may find themselves in.

I'm not a cynic nor am I pessimistic. I just genuinely hope everyone can say that they love this time of the year
