Holiday blues

Every December for the past few years is the same. When I see first ornaments on the trees and hear Christmas songs on the radio I think… here we go again. The more we are approaching to the end of the year, the more tension and undefined sadness I feel. Then, on the first day of January, suddenly everything changes. I feel such a relief, peace and power to move on and be a better person. I know this all sounds like a bad woman’s novel, rewritten for the numerous times, but it’s how I feel inside. Last year I cried like crazy, for three days straight, but later it was all good. I should solve my little frustrations during the year promptly, but it’s easier just to sweep all under the carpet. But everything returns to you, often when you least need it. It’s not that bad how it might sound, but during any kind of longer holiday, I’m not the happiest person.

When you have a little more time to think about yourself and your life, you might get sad. Maybe I’m just bored and should work more. Generally looking, I really have everything I could wish for: great boyfriend, pretty normal family, a job (which is not so common these days), my good friends from childhood and (too) many material things. I buy myself what I really like. Ok my issue is still self esteem, but I came far on this area and I’m still working on it. One day I would definitely want more challenging job with responsibilities and of course move in with my boyfriend (suburb, right Kristof?).

I could write something smart and fancy, talking about healthy food and relaxation, but I won’t. This time is for me ideal for some overeating and enjoying in a bit more junk food than usual. I don’t mean to overdo it, because I will regret it later, I’m sure. My favorites at this moment are: Milka chocolate with peanuts and caramel, Nic Nac Peanuts in spicy dough and Haribo marshmallow mix. I could eat this just every day.


In my days off I would like to catch up a bit with the TV program. I’m curious about Mariah’s Carey new reality show, I would also like to see Fuller house episodes from the season 2. I adore old movies with Audrey Hepburn and Hitchcock classic. Maybe something goofy from Woody Allen – oh the list is growing. It’s been such a long time since I went through my old CDs. I will probably do some blogging in advance and reading. Of course I will spend some time with my boyfriend and friends. There will be some long coffee talks and exchanging gifts. I’m not planning to make New Year’s resolutions list, that’s just a cliché. The last day of the year I’ll spend in Ljubljana with my love, I’m planning to make a photo story about it.

All this should make me happy, right? Right!
