I really want to celebrate the holidays. Everyone seems so happy (I know. *Seems* is a dangerous word.). They have plans and places to be, family and friends and significant others to be with. I work hard to ensure other people have a great Christmas, I carefully curate/make gifts for friends and family, but when it comes to me -- there is no reciprocity. I have no family, no significant other, no friends to celebrate with at the end of the day. At the end of the day, I'm alone. So here I am trying not to cry (and failing) at the Christmas songs playing on the radio. I feel like my life has no meaning. Christmas will just be another day for me, yet again. And I don't want it to be.
So if you're alone tonight, too, let's keep each other company.
About me:
I'm a 34 year old woman (she/her) from Western Canada. I work part time as a writer/editor, and part time at a chocolate shop. I'm introverted (MB: INFJ), shy, and quiet until you get to know me. I'm a homebody and likely a hobbit at heart, enjoying the simpler things in life like good food, and good conversation, and good company. I also like the occasional adventure (not to raid dragon's hoards, however).
A lot of my life centres around books: reading and collecting and writing about them. I also enjoy music and film.
I'm left (liberal) on the political scale, non-religious, and I'm hoping you're the same. I'd like to think I'm kind and thoughtful. I love to laugh, and I like to make people laugh too, or at least smile.
I don't know what else to add, but you can ask me anything. Please introduce yourself and let's get to know each other.
If you can, send me a DM rather than a chat as I'm having trouble accessing the latter.
