Christmas and New Year is often a really tough time for many
It’s not spoken about enough
There is an intense pressure on people and families
to be together
to spend money on presents, travelling and food
Expectations are at an all time high
Behind those Christmas family photos is often a lot of pain, pressure and heartache
Many people chose to spend this time alone
A lot of people have to spend this time alone
Domestic violence goes sky high
If you are struggling or feeling alone - I see you
I always have so many mixed emotions at this time of the year
I always have
A mix of excitement and dread because of the expectations
that sit so closely alongside each other
When there is so much expectation for it all to be sunshine and rainbows
Take care of yourself and go gently
