Shout out to all the people with "weird" disabilities that aren't well known and they're not comfortable talking about. You're no less disabled because you have a lesser known disability.
Getting out of a deep sadness is never easy, but I know we can make it out. I've been struggling a lot with sadness this past month, but I've been able to slowly step out of it. :' ) Take lots of rest, go easy on yourself, and the light will come back. Sending lots of warmth out to you all- the sadness never lasts forever.

merry christmas to the people who have to pretend to be someone they’re not for their families, who don’t have family to celebrate with, who have bad past experiences with the holiday, who are having a rough year and just want to reach the end of it, who couldn’t afford gifts this year and feel guilt over it. merry christmas to everyone but especially those of you who are feeling down.
