Have you been naughty or nice?

I used to be all about the holidays, I wonder if it was because a) so many of my ordinary days were a nightmare and it was only the days with an agenda that were a highlight b) I was so commercial and had sold half my soul to all the marketing and media bullsh*t c) I never wanted to grow up, turn bitter and had not made up my mind about a lot of things or d) maybe a mix of all of the above with a drop childhood naïveté?

Regardless, as time has passed by I have come to realize that what I first heard almost 6 years ago and so resisted is actually quite true: "any date with an agenda has more pressure due to the heavy weight of expectations and it kind of seems that you are setting yourself up for failure just because of how seriously you take it."

Hmm.. I wonder off to a land in between nostalgia and reality, to then land back laughing.

I don't know about you, but at least for me, humour and laughing tragedy into a tragicomedy are my coping mechanism to gracefully and lightly dance through life. Because at the end of the day, that: learning to laugh at ourselves and life= take life -and everything it entails, including Christmas- much more lightly (rather than so seriously all the time) is the only thing I've found we have if you like me never wanna grow up and one day realize you have turned into a bitter old woman/man/she/her/he/him/them/they…

Anyways, now I just want to live everyday as if I were an allien that had just arrived and is inhabiting my hot skinny body in this fabulous human experience for the first time and you know what? Emptying the glass and living fully its the ultimate present we can give ourselves and we can give it to ourselves daily, not just on Christmas..
