Holidays and Family

I haven’t written in awhile because life has thrown me a couple of wicked curve balls. I lost my apartment and ,yes job on the same day. This forced me to move in with my brothers and get a job at a call center. Both of which happened just days apart. I made friends at work and connected with my brother’s friends so I have no want of company. Which is a major change from my normal solitude.

Because of my voluntary solitude I’ve had no idea how to interact with people, or even know what is acceptable. My plans for the Holidays were to retreat back into my own little world, forgetting that there are others who care about me. I wasn’t allowed to do that. Thanksgiving my younger brother took me to his friends’ place where I gorged on food and watched movies. Christmas was more of the same, only this time I got presents.

The only thing this Holiday season has taught me is this. No matter if you are blood or not, there is no reason for you to be alone during the holidays.
