I'm sort of in the same type situation. I understand what you mean...but it will get better. We just have to have faith in that. At least that is how I keep going. We never know what tomorrow will bring, and never give in or give up!

Cheers everyone! And thank you neformore for your kind thread. I am kind of alone. I worked today, in a great restaurant, so I was with very nice
colleagues and a lot of happy guests.
On xmas eve, yesterday, I really was on my own. Not a very big deal. The first time ever, iirc. It was kind of nice and it reminds one of the people in ones life worth sharing everything with.
I made a nice tapas treat for myself to enjoy the evening and watched some scrooge-esk movies (oh, man the animated movie A Cristmas Carol (2009) - Jim Carey is a great one for all you ATS'ers out there to watch! Full of on topic symbolism with a nice sauce of soul)
Tomorrow, boxing day, however, I will spend with my next of kin. It's my nephew's birthday.. Awesome!
So, my Xmas is not that bad..
I wish all of you the best, and may your hearts open up to the true 'Spirit of Christmas', which has all to do with kindness in ones heart for all others...
Namaste!

thanx for that, and maybe next time i'm ready to punch another hole in the wall i'll get ahold of you.
i think many of us are at that age where those we love are getting old and leaving us.
no matter how much we prepare ourselves it is never easy.
btw, i added you to my meager list of friends, hope you don't mind.

i feel so emo right now. lol
my emotions get amplified when i see all (most) of my friends on fb and the pictures they post up with all their family having an actual family dinner. i miss those days.
only if one day everyone in the family puts our differences aside and just have a wonderful holiday.
thank you a lot.

only if we can have like a "net dinner" with all the ATS'ers lol.

There you go! That is the honest truth.Sometimes we have to be reminded of things like that. No matter how bad things seem.... there is ALWAYS someone who has it worse, and would probaly love to switch places

No you aren't....if you are here...at least not totally. I hope you enjoy the day, alone or not, and I hope that you don't feel so alone now!
Thanks, I like keeping company with crazy people, lol, guess it's just like christmas with most families after all. Just kidding, indeed at least I'm not completely alone as long as I have the internet.
