I’m alright so far

This post is dedicated to all those who expect to spend Christmas alone this year.

Just remember - this too shall pass.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when we don’t have anyone to turn to. When we stare wistfully at others’ happy lives. When we wonder what we did wrong. Or try and correct what we think we did wrong - but in vain.

Just remember - this too shall pass.

There are people out there who like you. Or will like you. Some of them will be ships in the night, some will last for many nights and some maybe for all nights. But even if its only for one night, it will be a night to remember. Make sure you store those memories and bring them out this Christmas, to warm you through the holiday season.

Don’t envy those who seem to have plenty. Until you’ve lived in their shoes, you don’t know. Let them enjoy. There will come a time when you will too. Don’t let today spoil you for tomorrow.

Find something or things that make you happy. Keep yourself occupied. And know that there is a greater being than you who will watch over you this Christmas and keep you company when there’s none other so far. And remember – this too shall pass.

Remember the story of the optimist – he fell down twelve stories and at every storey he said ‘I’m alright so far’.
