Well Facebook has decided to block my ability to react to your comments on all posts because i guess the ability for humans to feel seen and heard is now a bad thing...stupid bots

I love the way I love broken people.
I may not be able to make a difference in the world, but if I can make a moment in the life of another just a little bit less heavy, less dark, my life has purpose, meaning, necessity...for just that moment.

Our happiness isn't found in materialistic things. Our happiness is found in our purpose.

This life isn't for me, but someone else's need of me and in that realization I've found my healing, my life's meaning, my connection with my Creator, and my joy!

It's taken many years to reach the level of discernment I've achieved.
Self-care and self-love set the stage for the this great accomplishment!
So, first and foremost, in all aspects of life, to thine own self be true.

Today, I will gather with a few selected individuals to share a meal in a restaurant.
Tomorrow, I will remain in my home, undisturbed, alone with my husband and probably eat freezer pizza because I love it!!

I no longer feel the need to conform to the world's ideals of holiday festivities. I haven't wrapped a single gift, nor purchased any.
Why would I?

Why do we as a society just blindly buy into (literally) a tradition that has become monetized and used to extort the family unit? This year we're refuse to participate...and it's perfectly acceptable!
I don't want, nor do I need the stress of this "hallmark holiday". My children are all grown and my grandchild is 2 weeks old so, my rebellion is now or never! 😆 🤣 😂

And they wonder why I have extreme trust issues (amongst other childhood related traumas inflicted by parents and peers which couldn't understand my uniqueness).
