Christmas family affairs...
Christmas is knocking on the door, girls.
In addition to the nervous presence and the perfect atmosphere in social networks, in reality, however, it is the time of sarms, Russian salad, overeating, "Home Alone" once again, banal TV programs, family scandals, annoying questions from relatives regarding marriage, children, their upbringing, job, money, etc, etc…. you know it, right?
I think we all, in one form or another, go through little family "dramas" during this otherwise wonderful time of year. I was talking to a friend on the phone yesterday, we were joking about the craziness of every family and we had a lot of laughs. I'm filled with love saying it, honestly. I have been irritated so many times by these scenes, by the annoying questions, by the expression: you haven't eaten anything, mom!!! And you can barely breathe from eating… hahaha. Or the remarks and comments as if you were still a 5 year old.
I believe and I'm almost sure that every family carries its own "baggage", flaws, craziness, quirks, but I also believe even more strongly that this is exactly the greatest charm and strength of every family. In the lack of perfection, in that natural, unique, unique and irreplaceable magic that it has and carries.
Because in the end, family is all we have. The way it is. The only people who, no matter the circumstances, will always be there and love us. And to all those things that annoy us, I suggest that we laugh at them. At least that's how I feel.
Merry Christmas! Love yourself, love everyone around you with all their flaws. Applies to me too of course :)
With love!
