hola Reader!
β
our social media feeds are about to be saturated with perfect holiday posts
either perfectly curated highlight reels or AI generated perfection
ps yes, i tried that trending ChatGBT Christmas photo thing and wow, what an eye opener about how fake things can get!
β
i'm single. i live alone. i'm an ocean away from all of my family.
yes, i get to celebrate in paradise - my version of a white Christmas at the beach.
but i deeply miss my mom who's no longer on this planet to celebrate with π
i miss the tradition of getting Christmas Eve pajamas from my cat and dog, who are also no longer here π₯Ί
β
but here's what i'm reminding myself during this season that doesn't always feel so merry ...
β
for every perfect holiday photo you see, there might be:
β’ 3 outfit changes
β’ 2 meltdowns
β’ 1 passive-aggressive comment
β’ countless deep breaths
β
and you know what? THAT is the real human experience!
β
will i probably end up taking a smiling photo in a santa hat? yes.
will there also be tears and feeling heavy? also definitely yes. (already cried twice lol)
β
so here's my reminder to you in case you need it that behind every perfect looking post there is a behind the scenes story
a multi-layered human experience we don't always get to see!
β
so remember this when scrolling:
β’ your feelings are valid - whether merry or heavy or both at the exact same time
β’ joy and grief can coexist
β’ you're allowed to feel it all
β
so focus on being present in YOUR present moment
β
and as always, sending a big warm hug to anyone who needs one today π€
β
with love from the beach even though it's raining today,

Wanderlust
someone asked me if i "did anything fun this weekend"
and i couldn't think of anything out of the ordinary to start with
and then i realized I LIVE AT THE BEACH FULL TIME
i basked in the sunshine like a lizard on my rooftop, floated in the ocean, played beach volleyball, went to a dance social, ate a lot of tacos
... and that's "just" a "normal" weekend for me so it definitely reminded me how blessed i am!
