I learned today that depression and anxiety run rampant throughout the holiday season. People experience the holidays in so many ways that it is difficult to remember that not everyone has what I have or shares the same world view as me. I often float through my days with my family, moving along with this small, tight knit group intrinsically bound to one another, and I find myself frustrated and annoyed when others aren't on the same page as me and mine. The social worker in me (whaddup GD) naturally seeks to understand and empathize (not sympathize) with those in need, but not today. Today I'm fighting back. Here's to the holidays and joy of being around those I love, the anticipation of next meeting my friends, and to the few glorious moments I get alone. Ain't nobody breakin my stride, nobody gonna slow me down. Oh no. I've GOT to keep on movin!

feelin this donnie. always a struggle. im walking thru the SoBX whistling jingle bells on my way to meet with a family thats in chronic crisis mode. while im enjoying that holiday revelry trying to trap wam under the misseltoe they will probably preparing for housing court. hard to find that balance of letting go for a week or two and just enjoying family and friends and xmass hams. deep house techno party at pfs should certainly help.
