Merry Christmas!
I saw all the angel numbers today.
Merry Christmas to anyone who’s Christmas feels a little different this year.
I think sometimes we use the holidays as a checkpoint.
Each time they come around,
we see all the things that have changed in the last year.
We are flooded with the feeling of familiarity that comes with Christmas lights and pine scented candles.
We are also met with the incredible awareness that everything has changed the last time we decorated a Christmas tree.
Maybe you seen some heartbreak this year.
Maybe you experienced some loss.
Maybe you’ve done some healing.
Maybe you’re still working on it.
But no matter what,
I’m so proud of you for all you made it through this year.
Whether this Christmas feels heavy or light.
Even if your heart is caught between familarity and change.
Merry Christmas, even if Christmas doesn’t feel the same.

Some of these photos are blurry, and I’ll try to find better versions. And there’s tons, I couldn’t put all of them here.
Several of my friends and family members passed away this year (2022) and last year (2021). And way too many people inbtwn the ages of 21 to 34. Christmas doesn’t feel as magical. I didn’t tell many of my family members about my friends passing because we lost 4 this year (we have a big family, it comes with the territory). With a few recently passing. I’m thinking about you this holiday season. I love you all.
I also started making reels and told people that I’ve bene more closed off recently and would appreciate some space. (Yet fellas, some of you don’t get the memo and I will block if I have to, don’t play).
Merry Christmas to anyone who’s Christmas feels a little different this year and every year for years.
It’s 2022 🔥🙌
