Nothing to do
What do you do when you don't know what to do? I've been working like crazy to get everything ready for Christmas. Trying to make presents for my whole family because I can't afford to buy them. Cutting as many corners as I can to get presents for my son. There's food to make and a pile of things to wrap. But I don't want to do anything. My friends are all busy with their families, and I just feel so incredibly alone. I don't expect to hear from anyone today, but I really wish there was someone here. I just feel so unmotivated. Everything will get done eventually, but none of it seems to matter. How do I get out of this funk?

The only presents I have ever displayed are the ones that people made for me. The jagged ones, the imperfect edges, those are the perfect ones. Those are the ONLY ones worth ANYTHING to me. The hand-woodburned plaque thas was certainly a one or two dollar piece of thin craft wood, turned priceless by my niece's jagged letters, hand burned patiently into the wood saying how she loves me (I'm getting tears now). THE card, the one from my son. THE letter from my ex girlfriend, separated by too many states to stay together, but the way she wrote that one day on a regular piece of paper with a regular pen while she watched me sleep in complete adoration. It's in my safe. THE piece of paper I framed from my daughter. THE ornament. The letters people wrote me while I was overseas at war. If you don't think I'm worth a ***, get me something from Amazon. If you love me, let me see just a moment taken away from your busy corporate *** life, same as mine, to pause for just 1 minute to make something with your own hand that no one could order with one *** click. You will rebound financially, but you will never give gifts that will be kept and pierce hearts like you will tonight if you can just see how much it is YOU, not the gift it is YOU, the love from YOU. That's what you wrap up tonight. Take that chance.
