Yeah, the Holidays can be rough at times. What makes some of them rough for me is that around the Holidays > I often go to parties and get together s and well > when I do > I do have a good time to some degree. I do like to socialize with people and talk to people and eat good food etc. But the hard part about it > is often when I go to these functions and parties I have to come to realize that most people have things MUCH better then me. and that can be depressing. Meaning I am a single lonely disabled guy who is in a lot of pain most of the time. well when I am at those holiday gatherings most of the people there have a life MUCH better then mine. So its hard sometimes to have to be the one who is there at the party but has it the worst. Like most of the guys there are able bodied >have good health> have good incomes. > have wives or girlfriends that love them > and here I am >>>disabled > in pain. No wife or girlfriend, shitty income and well I have to sometimes feel badly about my own existence > thinking about how much better most people have it then me.
SO I can relate. I know the Holidays can be hard when you have things rough
But I still get out and go to parties and enjoy things as best as I can.
I refuse to isolate. I refuse to just stay at home and do nothing.
I at least show up and try to be a good positive person while I am there among other people
If people ask me about something in my life I dont want to talk about > i just say > I dont want to talk about that.
I am believing now someday I will be a guy who does have it good and I will be very thankful for all that I have when it all comes
because I have met a lot of people who have all the good stuff in life but don’t really appreciate things!
I will appreciate all the good things in life when I get them
For me… after having had it SO Hard for so long… I have come to think that one of the worst things in life that aggravates me > is when I meet a person ‘who has it all’ > but does not appreciate it. I have learnt to appreciate everything in life because I was forced to have it so hard for so long. Some people never learn to appreciate the good things in life because some of them it all came so easily for them and they never had to live without all those good things.
Me I have learnt to appreciate every good thing in life and to be thankful for it all
I am glad that I have come to learn that lesson in life
I have also come to learn to be compassionate towards people who have it hard and are hurting in life. Some people never learn that in life. I am gald that I have learnt it.
When I am wealthy and happy and healthy> I will do everything I can to help out people who are in need because I have been there in the SHIT of life for decades and know what its like to be hurting and in need and have nobody to help you.
While I get the whole meaning of it and the comparison it tries to make.
is it strange that I’m more drawn to the second window?
Like, becoming the fist female nfl quarterback detective jedi batman seems wonderful and ambitious, and straight up doable
But, “nobody made *-INSERT NAME HERE-* sad today”, seems like paradise, inconceivable and nigh on impossible, a wish come true.
I wanna be Batman, fuck yea, I’m going to be, hell, I AM Batman(must be read with deep whispering growly gravel voice)
but to not be sad, now that’s a beautiful dream.
Best holiday wishes to you all, may it be a little less sad, and maybe, just a little bit happy too

I never go to holiday parties, if I can help it.
Social anxiety plus holiday depression plus who knows what else.
I agree it’s frustrating to see someone who “has it all” but is unappreciative.
Yeah holidays are kind of hard…. I mildly hate them…. I wish they didn’t happen -_-
I also wish they didn’t happen!
Or, failing that, just replace them all with “lock yourself in the house and eat chocolate cake alone in bed” day.
Because I could totally do that.

I am also drawn more to the 2nd panel.
It sounds just as impossible on this side of things too.
But yes, best wishes to you and everyone else here.
That meme hit me like a fucking truck.
I hope that was a good thing.
Powerful stuff can be good.
I think.
Thanks for posting this, Cordless. I hope you’re doing well.
Struggling.
Rough.
