I tried today but these holidays are a new normal that going through now I wasn’t ready for the emotions. Ended up putting the turkey back in the fridge and staying to myself. Seeing my son cried on Facebook and I couldn’t hug him broke me down. Warm tears to sleep n try again tomorrow. 😢🥺😩

Sending you a virtual huggggg!!! Family I feel you, and I want you to know it’s okay to sit with those emotions and let yourself feel them fully. Holidays can bring up so much, especially when life feels like it’s shifting into a new normal. The fact that you tried today says so much about your strength, even if it didn’t turn out how you planned. Putting the turkey back in the fridge and giving yourself space? That’s self-care, even when it’s hard.
I can only imagine how tough it must’ve been seeing your son like that and not being able to hug him. Those tears you cried were necessary—they were a release, not a weakness. Tomorrow is a new day, a new chance to take it moment by moment, and you’re not in this alone.
What’s one thing you can do, just for you, to bring yourself even a small sense of peace or comfort?2-
@Erica thank you 🤗 I have grown to give my self space to feel and cry it out when I need to. I’m working through expressing it verbally which is why I posted. I did talk to my friend who’s house I bailed on to explain (more for me) that I’m experiencing life in real time and need to be able to have an out when I need and I’m ok with that. For me today, I wanted to buy something that I want with the Black Friday sales and I did. Happy with my simple purchases and the wellness happy hour helped so the day is already looking up! Appreciate ya 😇

@Erica Thanksie! Yall! I ended up throwing away the turkey because I waited too long to cook it and it smelled up the fridge! But, I also respected that I gave myself space to feel my feelings and do exactly what I wanted with no judgement. I’m better for it. I plan to cook for either winter solstice or new years so I’m preparing for that mindset. And if I happen not to, that’s okay too! I give myself permission to be fluid in this season of exploration. It’s a marathon not a sprint and I’m still here!
