Hi All,
I want to wish my dear followers a very happy and joyous Christmas.
I've had the worst week. I have a part-time retail job; and I'd pretty much rather die than admit how absolutely awful it's been this lead-up to Christmas.
Dear customers: If you throw it, or swear, or it doesn't fit you, or you're drunk, or you're stressed, or you're broke: I still have to deal with you're tantrums and guess what: I HATE IT. You've killed Christmas for me.
Numerous tears later, in the toilets, I forced myself to take stock.
I wasn't born here. Nor do I have to fight for my life. My sanity is my own. My family all live. We have stuff. Food. A bed. Beloved is safe and well; and IN MY LIFE. It might sound a bit 'Jolie', but I'm well off. I'm one of the lucky ones.
So, this Christmas, I'm going to be grateful for what I do have; and fear less, what I still need to create for myself, and my loved ones.
A trip to my spiritual home is on the cards, as is the on-going creation of the New World with my Beloved.
Thankyou all, for following, and commenting. For reading my bloody rants.
Happy Christmas.
Your Doll.

ReplyDeleteI hope your Christmas Day was wonderful and you could forget all about the negative & horrible customers. I know how awful people can be sometimes. I try so hard to focus on the wonderful people instead!!

Three years ago I worked in retail during Christmas, I totally understand how you feel. As bad as it was, I think it has made me stronger. Happy New Year! ♥
