Looking Forward

If you've been on here for quite some time now, then you would know that December is my least favourite month of the year. It's the one month where I get to be sad for no reason, well, actually that isn't entirely true. I do have a reason why I do feel this way every time of the year and sadly, it doesn't seem like that reason would be going away anytime soon.

And to make matters worse, I always isolate myself from people during this time of the year and as expected, that worsen the whole thing. It makes me feel ten times sadder and some times even makes me cry.

But thankfully, it's looking like it's going to be a different December this year, it looks like I just might be smiling for the better part of this month and this is why. Unlike the other years where I've always made sure to be alone, I don't think I will be doing that this year. I don't want to, and hopefully I don't get to.

You see, sometime this year, I had reconnected with some childhood friends of mine, these are people I grew up with as a kid and lost contact with them after my family had moved out of that area. But somehow, the universe had found a way to reconnect us and now they all can't wait for me to come back for the holidays to go visit and spend time with them and I honestly can't wait either.

So to answer today's contest question, yes, my holiday has started and hopefully, if things do go as planned, I will be spending it with friends and family. The goal, hopefully will be to have the best December than I've had in the last four years.

Unfortunately though, in as much as I would love to not work during these times, my job doesn't exactly permit me to run off for days without "showing up" (double quote because I work from home) lol.

But hey, compared to my experience these past few years, I would rather be with family and friends and work, than to be here all by myself and still work. And this is because for me, the fact that I have something fun that I feel like I will be doing if only I was done with my job, makes me work a lot quicker so that I could go have that fun.

It's like a little child who wants to go out to play football with his friends, but the only way he can do that is to be done with his homework. Now unlike that child who might end up just scribbling anything on that homework, just so that he could go play, I will do a fine job as always, and then go have fun and be merry with my friends.

Anyways, there you have.. This is hopefully about to be a very good holiday for me.
