December...

Once, not immeasurably long ago, I loved this time of the year. My folks' anniversary was the 20th, mine was the 21st, Christmas was the 25th, my birthday is the 28th and New Year's was the 1st.

It was like a week of joy.

But I've been divorced a long time because unconditional love, wasn't. I don't go home anymore and Christmas is meaningless to me (my birthday even less so).

At this point, this time of year just makes me hate, Hate, HATE.

Shit.
