This time of year is meant to be filled with joy and family get-togethers, but not everyone has family or anything to be happy about. So are you ok?

Fuck December. You're a champion. This will suck but you'll make it through. Look at all you're already managing successfully. Just bc it's not easy, doesn't mean you're not doing a fantastic job

Takes a village! I've been fighting through a lot of darkness for many years now, with no end in sight for the struggle. Not even inner demon shit,really horrific life shit. I try to remember that we can't always see the top of the mountain, but it's there. And the only thing we can do is have faith that by always moving forward, however slowly, there is salvation at the summit. And if I die before that, fuck it, I won't know :)

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling - but hang in there, I love your philosophy about moving forward!

Thanks! Good thing about the human condition and adaptation is you can normalize some pretty high levels of struggle to being mundane lol
