Solitude

It's Christmas Eve, well technically Christmas because it is after midnight. I'm alone with my dogs and I just finished watching "Love Actually" (I debated between that and a Muppets Christmas Carol which I will watch tomorrow while making food). And I just feel a little sad.
I've been working on a blog post about love which I will finish soon and so its on my mind right now. The holidays are especially hard for single people. I've been spending Christmas Eve alone for 8 years now. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's harder. But, luckily it's just a moment. And I try to remember the reason for the season- and keeping that perspective does make it a little easier.
I wonder if I'll ever spend Christmas Eve with someone. Who knows.
Anyway, Merry Christmas. It's ok that it's hard sometimes.

That saying makes me sad, but it's true. If we didn't care, if we didn't love, it wouldn't hurt.

Merry Christmas :)

Loneliness is one of the hardest emotions to feel. You have a great perspective, at least it is just a day.
