#sad holidays

[pnutbutter-n-j-elyy]

Merry Christmas to me, my best friend is gone,

Merry Christmas to me, I can't carry on.

Mom's in the hospital, fighting her fight,

I’m drowning in sorrow this holiday night.

Once loved the season, its joy and its glow,

Now it just echoes the pain that Ive come to know.

Merry Christmas to me, it’s a cruel, empty sound,

The holidays haunt me, no solace is found.

Merry Christmas to me, filled with sorrow and fear.

Life feels so pointless, I’m losing my way,

The holidays I loved now bring me dismay.

There needs to be more depressing Christmas songs so we are doing our part to bring them into existence.

lyrics:

Once I dreamt nothing but Cold Decembers The snow soaked through my gloves I craved the blisters

A reflection of what's inside But softer, more places to hide Somewhere north, far away A direction to look in

The gift of persistence You're so resilient I can't imagine I'm so sorry that happened

It's so quiet, all of a sudden Tears fell down Froze into a tundra Can't keep warm under Bright lights stripped of wonder

Life can't happen here

All I want this year Is to break apart and disappear Like the man I forged from snow Button eyes, artificial soul

If I come alive Do you think that I Can embrace the darkness That comes so early now

One of the most personal, saddest things about living in America is the summertime.

There is 0 reason for American adults not to have a summer break. I can only say this with a full throat so loud, but other countries have policies and laws that give adults summertime.

It is not a joke to say France is kind of shutdown for August. There are over a dozen countries that have enough mandatory, legally required leave available to take an entire month off, or more. PLUS mandatory PAID holidays.

It's Brazil and Russia (ooh scary BRIC countries outgrowing the US and coming for us). India AND China give up to 2 weeks mandatory vacation leave, plus sick leave on top.

It's Afghanistan (20 days). It's Angola (22). It's Argentina(25) and Armenia (25) and Australia (20). It's Cambodia (technically unlimited; you can eventually get 15 or 17 days per month vacation).

That us on top of mandatory PAID public holidays. Cambodia can somehow manage 27 mandatory paid holidays plus upwards of 18 vacation days per year and going up from there, and we in the US can't even manage mandatory paid holidays.

We don't even get paid on Christmas and Memorial Day. And even trying to convince some people, let alone politicians, that everyone should get paid on Christmas is unfair to compare to pulling teeth.

Please. Please. I want to have a better life. I want you to have a better life.

I want you to not miss Summer Break. Because France and Cambodia don't.

you know. I think it's going to be worse this year because the first night chanukkah is on christmas day. but I'll say it until I physically cannot speak anymore that chanukkah is not jewish christmas and if you so much as insinuate it is (while knowing better) I'll incinerate your face.

Three CaitVi fics I've read over the holigays

be but sworn my love (E) by antant616

This fic is literally the trope of: slow burn but they're fucking the entire time. Also, CaitVi here are exes who are forced to play Romeo and Juliet in a play and ooooo the drama! I'm HOOKED.

Dear Stranger, (T) by becasbelt | tumblr

If you want to cry, read this. Absolutely beautiful canon-compliant fic. And for real, just read all of Anne's works. They're amazing ❤️

lucid dreams ‘bout you (M) by rosetattoos

Oh GOD I've never been so happy to see an update for a fic before. The last time this librarian!cait fic updated was like two years ago, and I gave up waiting for it. But lo and behold, what a GIFT for the holidays!!

ngl as a chronic-pain-haver who regularly sorrows over the lack of chronic-pain-comfort-fics, getting into jayvik is doing great things for me.
