Christmas has always been a tough day
for those who live with depression.
That was the ongoing case even before
the orchestrated hijacking of life, better known as 2020.
I can't imagine what the death-math
of this first Covid Christmas will be.
Not that it will be reported with any accuracy, or decency...
...two virtues that might be hiding out with merry.
The bells I hear ringing are the alarms of truth and liberty,
but most of the world seems to confuse them with a reindeer sleigh.
Chimney-like isolation is the gift that comes
with seeing what the virus really is, and knowing there is no mask
that can protect from the hazardous material strewn about
non-stop since March. No amount of garland or tinsel or candy canes
can redeem the news-sewage that's poisoned most minds.
I will not gaslight you with false cheer.
If you feel tired or sad or maybe even worse than that,
it actually means you are very much alive and in-tact!
It means that your awareness is functioning
exactly as it should, alerting you of falsity.
There is empowerment in this grinchy post,
and it is this:
Ooooo nice to see this side of you. I’m actually kind of cheery despite a lot of heavy. I poop often
Ha! Thanks for that (obviously) needed laugh, @whatamidoing. Am glad for your bowel health, and your unconditional acceptance of my down-ish mood is... probably more meaningful to me, than it should be! I wish you continued cheer. And poops. 🎉 💩
Lol I meant metaphorical soul poops! But my bowls are doing ok this week! ♥️
"Ohhhh, SOUL poops..." said the overly literal grump. That's even better, @whatamidoing. 🌺
Let me know if I can ever ungrump you! I'll do my best! ❤️💩❤️💩❤️💩
Merry Crisis and a Happy New Fear! 😎
lmao. DARK HUMOR is exactly the medicine I need! Thank you, Dr. @likedeeler.
Thank you. This is the only Christmas post I've seen today that I actually resonate with. I love this line - "I will not gaslight you with false cheer."
I did have a lovely day today with family, but no I'm not happy with all the covid fear, and I feel deeply for the many people who are alone and fearful. I dread to think how high suicide rates will be this Christmas.
I'm surrounded by amazing likeminded people and we are doing our best to protect our sovereignty, for us and for our children, which is great and all, but it's been a tiring year, so there will be no false cheer from me.
Hello, beautiful soul. Thank you so much for sharing from your good and true place. I sincerely appreciate it and, oddly, draw from it.
I moved to a new city, in a new country, two months before the world was shut down. So I've spent most of this entire year in extreme solitude. I'm highly introverted, so adapted pretty well... but lately, I just feel crispy rage toward this broken reality!
It's fortifying to read of your day, and the sovereign example you're living for your children, and the resonant social circle around you. Thanks, @redrica, for the gift of real cheer. 💜
I am keeping my heart and mind open for relationship building and looking out for family and friends. Deep Poetry thanks.
Thanks for your visit and comment, @divinebeingness. Sounds like you're up to great things. The things that matter.
Yes @erikaharris we are up to Great things that Matter. We are Reflections.
