What's Bothering You?

I feel like I’m slowly destroying the relationship with my family. I don’t feel as close or connected with them anymore. I don’t get much enjoyment out of talking to them.

At times it feels very one-sided, like they’re not listening to me. They always say that they’re here for me and to listen…but when I ring them they seem so disinterested. They’ve never been good for emotional support…so there’s that too.

Idk man, sometimes I have to remind myself that I’m 26 and my life doesn’t revolve around them. It’s a weird part of life right now.
 
All of these things happened while I was at a Christmas party at a friend's house.

I ate so much food that I needed to throw up a little, and their bathroom was occupied, so I had to throw up in a trash can instead.

At one point when I participated in a white elephant gift exchange, I got what seems to be the most insulting game I have ever received: it was a card game about MEMES, ugh!
I wanted someone to take my crappy gift so badly, but nobody ever did!

After that, I had a million thoughts of either throwing the game away, or burning it in a fire pit...

It was already bad enough when I participated in another white elephant gift exhange at another friend's house the other night, and someone stole the same gift twice that I really wanted, so I couldn't steal it!

That gift was a pink blanket sweatshirt with strawberries on it, and it's even a Japanese product, too!

Also, there was a little kid who tried to steal a handmade jingle bell necklace made by another friend that I was wearing to yesterday's Christmas event. I said no, he asked me twice before he shut up and left me alone.

Otherwise, I had a good time at the Christmas event, even though I cried when I got home...
 
wish I could buy that flower wand :,,,,,)
but who am I kidding, I don't need it. I'm happy with what I have. I miss having my heart wand and bluebird out though.

not even gonna get into how much of a mess I am right now. feels like it's never ending. I need some relief.
 
I was sitting at a restaurant a few nights ago. I normally don't listen in on people's conversations because it's none of my business, but one lady said something that caught my attention. As soon as she said "I don't mean to be racist, but..." and then she started spewing some very insensitive things. The two other ladies at the table were just shaking their heads, agreeing with every word being said. I found it strange how one person can hold those opinions and speak about it publicly, but also that the other two ladies were just blindly agreeing with her.

As if that wasn't enough, there was another table with two older men sitting at it. They made their whole meal a discussion of how amazing this country would be if Desantis and Trump were in office together. I got a few looks (by them) which I presume was related to my appearance. I'm, like, the picture definition of androgyny and they definitely were not amused by my they/them pronoun pin. They started talking to their waitress about politics. All three of them - yes, including the server - were all saying how great it was that there is a Trump 2024 Christmas ornament. I think it's safe to assume the server's views.

I also used to work at this same restaurant. I know how some people feel about these things. There's definitely a reason I did not come out here.
 
My work is tryna force me to keep my truck driving tag after telling me I could drop it. I have to talk to a head guy tomorrow and tell him why I suck at driving big ass trucks. Do they wanna see me cry
 
I don't know I am just sad. All I can think about how sad the burial of my grandma will be this wednesday. I am glad I have my husband by my side... He helped me a lot when my grandpa died.

I am asking myself and others what they believe happens after death. I wish I could believe in anything... In some sort of afterlife concept but no... It makes things even more difficult.
 
feeling like I'm in desperate need of a vacation 😪


edit: no, I'm in desperate need to get out of this... this godforsaken house. I feel like a defenseless animal trapped in a cage. I can't keep living like this.

I talked to work and they asked why I don't want to drive trucks anymore. Straight up I said "I'm a loser and I cry too often". They accepted it. My work is 90% men so if I even mention feelings or emotions I see them get uncomfortable. Honestly is key, I ain't gonna lie
 
Holidays floods!

Each year, at the end of December/beginning of January, Canadian weather decides to go from -20°C to 10°C in a day. The snow and ice melt but because the soil is frozen water has nowhere to go causing important floods.

I spent all the night carrying buckets of water in PJ, feet in iced water because the water went over my boots (I felt like Jack and Rose in Titanic) trying anything to prevent the water entering my home. I was losing it, I wanted to ask for help (I was all alone 😭) but the water was rising too fast. so it was just me and my bucket until my brother woke up.

Winter activities are pretty much cancelled until it snows again....
 
thinking I might back out of this event. I'm honestly not in the holiday spirit this year at all, just too many fundamental things wrong in my life to celebrate something like that right now. I'll still do the raffle and I hope I can get my Secret Santa drawing done soon, but yeah, this event just isn't doing it for me at all. 😔

still, thank you to everyone who wished me a happy holiday. it's so difficult, but I very much appreciate the gesture 💜

You and me both. I am not into the holiday spirit either.
