Finally got to wear this dress but only to stand in the back of a church for my cousins wedding mass. This weekend was so bitter sweet. 12 hours of driving for less than an hour with my family - no hugs, no contact, no catching up. I miss my people. It hurts to miss out on these major life events.
I understand the importance of the restrictions but I can’t imagine these winter months without my friends or family or even being able to go to a gym. My heart really goes out to everyone who’s struggled with mental illness... it’s already been a hard year and this winter will be an even bigger challenge.
I was really looking forward to two months off from school. I’ve been making amazing progress lifting again and I finally got into a groove... just in time for a new shut down. Not seeing family for thanksgiving was one thing, but spending Christmas alone hurts. Hopefully next holiday season will be better.
