We live in hell, its supposed to be hell, most of us work hard to keep it hell. I do enough psychedelics to not take it too personally most of the time.
We hosted a Friendsgiving today, there were 19 of us with all sorts of stories. Family friends who just didn't feel like cooking. Friends whose family has passed, another friend with a restraining order against hers. Friends who had moved far from their families and another who just does Thanksgiving with their family on the weekend instead. Everyone came and got stuffed full of turkey and mashed potatoes. I love that our home can be a place of togetherness and community for the people in our lives.
I used to host friendsgivings. Now I'm eating alone in my bedroom while my sister who owns the house threatens me everyday with eviction. One step closer to homelessness, yay! I see so many people my age homeless and sleeping on the street, I'm 25 and seen more homeless kids than I ever wanted to.

Oh I'm definitely alone. And that's what that is.

I've spent some Christmas's alone. It's a million times better than being near my family

Yeah they're pretty baroquely terrible. Local friends would be great though.

It's less than ideal. Start bui)ding community for eviction defenses now.

I spent the day playing BG3 with a friend.
Better one true friend than all the "family" in the world.

Yes, it is. Not ideal, but could be worse.
