i'm a little bit sad today knowing that i'm not doing anything for thanksgiving tomorrow.
i have zero contact with most of my close family because they're genuinely bad people, but knowing that the rest of my family will be getting together & my friends will be spending time with their families stings a little bit. not that i'm upset by not being able to see my own family because they suck, but i'm just upset that i don't HAVE that family to go to.
i tell myself every year that i don't care & every year the night before i seem to absolutely lose it. this is my third thanksgiving without my family & i'm only 22. i shouldn't be crying in bed thinking about the fact that everybody else in the country is excited about tomorrow while i get to spend it at home by myself. but alas, here i am, crying in bed.
I’d suggest just avoiding social media and go get your favorite meal or make a nice dinner for yourself. Have some wine or something and watch a feel good movie and just use tomorrow as a personal health and growth day.
Im 19 have not spent a holiday with my family since I was like 14 or 15 and even younger than that if you count your general family (mom dad brothers and sisters) trust me dude I feel your pain most of them found friends or families when ours fell apart I did not and I wallow in my loneliness everyday of my life im sorry
Tbh I haven’t spent thanksgiving with my family since I was like 20/21… it’s pretty hard but it gets easier every year. Just try try make the most of what you have king, call your loved ones if you get lonely and practice self care ❤️❤️ I’m sorry you’re going through it but I know you’ll be okay ❤️❤️❤️❤️
aw love you so much <3 Im also spending thanksgiving without my family.. I made a horrible attempt at trying to cook a thanksgiving and it was a mess! So Im having some wine and watching housewives.. :)
happy thanksgiving!!
