Christmas is imminent!
You’re probably in the throes of preparation.
I am not here to give you advice about how to deal with your relatives, you’re going to have to sort that out for yourself. Keeping it buttoned up is usually a successful strategy.
My sister and I used to travel to our uncle’s house for the immediate and extended family get-together but we abandoned that many years ago. The travelling is such a shag!!!
What I am here to say is use this time to remember you have a voice. It sounds like a clichéd and obvious thing but honestly, keeping your sanity is based NOT on trying to figure other people out but to start establishing what it is YOU need from life and how to live it properly.
Most don’t know what the fuck they want so you trying to figure it out is a hiding to nothing.
Always remember USE your voice, LIVE your own life.
