So I love Christmas and spending time with the family. This year I’ve felt rotten, my mental health has been bad, I haven’t been able to see my cousins who I love with all my heart and are my world always have been and always will be. I’ve had to try and get used to a new job which hasn’t been and still isn’t easy, I haven’t been able to hug my loved ones even in my dark moments.
Tonight I’ve been in a real down mood and felt quite rubbish considering it’s Christmas eve, I haven’t been less Christmasy in all my life... until now...
so I was supposed to be seeing my cousins for the first time in 7 weeks and even that was only for a short while on one of their birthdays.
unfortunately I was let down and told I couldn’t see them tonight and will have to go tomorrow instead
only adding to my rubbish mood but then about half hour ago I received a text from my cousin.
Her ”Sorry I haven’t got much this year but I hope you like it”
me “don’t be daft, I don’t expect anything from you, all I want is to see you. Haven’t been able to get you that much either, you are so hard to buy for 😂”
her “sorry ha ha, can’t you come with nan tomorrow?”
me “I already am, I swear child if you come to me after Christmas and tell me there is something you want I’ll kill you as it meant I could have gotten you something proper”
her “ I won’t 😂😂”
her “I can’t wait to see you it feels like forever”
and the convo went from there.
I can’t tell you how much I needed that tonight
It has definitely made me feel a little brighter
