Holiday loneliness

quite obviously

No matter who we surround ourselves with

Or what social activities we do

We each travel this life journey on our own

And this can make us feel a void at times

Which as I’ve stated a few times

Is a void that needs to be filled with a connection to our higher self

A connection to the oneness of all

But the holidays bring an added factor of this sense of inherent intimacy

Which can lead one to feel they are missing out and devoid

If not satiated

I understand that all too well this holiday season

So I am embracing all things love

Embracing all things that make me feel alive

That make me rejoice

And allowing myself compassion for the times I feel sad and alone

Without a significant other to share the beauty of the season
