11/28 - Thanksgiving
This is the first time I’m home for Thanksgiving in 3 years because honestly I actually never grew up celebrating Thanksgiving. We usually go all out for Diwali and Christmas, with either family or extended family. Thanksgiving is just so close to everything, so honestly I wouldn’t even go home for it.
Lol this year we woke up with the intention of making some fancy new dishes but I wanted to catch up on sleep and then got too hungry, so we just made our usual gujju food and because it was so carb heavy, I had a sugar crash and just didn’t want to eat anything for dinner. So overall it ended up just being a normal day.
Idk how I feel about it. Personally, I don’t mind it. I would rather stick to my diet, and fitness goals, than to over indulge when my body is clearly saying no just so I don’t feel left out.
Being on social media is what I think put feelings of fomo when I was wasn’t even feeling it. Just seeing everyone’s family pictures. I didn’t grow up with a big family, so kind of felt the void of that but then I almost brought myself back to reality.
lol it’s not like I don’t celebrate every holiday. We do. And if anything I’m literally hosting a friendsgiving at my house next Friday. And then we have family coming over on Dec 22. I really could have done Thanksgiving stuff with mom today, she’s my family. But it just so happen to be that I got stomach sick.
Also, with my immediate family in general it’s always drama so not like I would be having the best time of my life. Some Thanksgiving posts from little brown diaries also made me happy for the peace I had today.
If anything, I’ve been feeling burnt out from work, so got a chance to sleep in, watch a cute Christmas movie, spend some time with mom, get my steps in, nap, and just not offset my body. Especially since I’m going to dinner with my friends tomorrow already.
Something else also happened - my other friend from SF reached out to me because she needed advice with roommate drama. In one way or another it was kind of my like my drama with my coworker. It was like I almost got an outside point of view from it. And what I told her was don’t engage in it. Giving your energy to people who don’t get it is useless. Accept their like that and cut your access off to them.
8/10 - Peaceful day overall
Intuition - Don’t let social media cloud your judgement to feeling like you don’t have a great life. Plus I’m blessed enough to live with my mom, so everyday is Thanksgiving for us.
