A December blog

Oooh it's been an up 'n' down one recently!

I love Christmas generally,  but I just feel anxious about this one.

I want to spend it with my Mum cause we've spent it with my other half's family every year since we've been together and it feels kinda unfair but my days it's turning out to be stressful trying to do something else.

I'm trying to sort it with my Mum, despite her concerns over issues she has meaning she doesn't want to see anyone/anyone to see her or to leave the house, whilst my other half says his family are chasing him to confirm for 100% what we're doing with my Mum as they're saying it affects how much food they get...surely 2 people doesn't particularly change things?  So just stick with we're not coming there this year but if we do surely it's not a big deal?  The pressure is just really stressing me out. 😔  I wish things were easier.  I miss the days of Mum and Dad cooking and Nana and Gangan coming round!  I also wish Mum was still in a healthy position and could drive and was looking after herself and we could see her more.

Also this month...

I attempted my driving test and failed. I know it's not the end of the World and that most people fail the first time, but still pretty deflating (and expensive!).  It has made me feel more anxious about rebooking it too as I worry I'll just fail again, but I do just wanna get it passed now. Pleh.  A test came up this evening for next week, I was tempted, but I just don't know if I can handle the weight of that looming too right now...even though there's a weight anyway knowing I can't drive right now and want to get that passed, I guess that just doesn't feel quite as heavy as an immediate one of knowing I need to get practice in over Christmas for a test just after...

And worst of all, I lost one of my pets a few days ago, Buttercup, one of my bunnies. I'd had her a few months short of a decade.  Still have her sister who thankfully seems to be doing okay.

So yeah.

Stressed and a bit overwhelmed with things feeling like I don't have as much control of my life and things going on in it as I'd have liked as a 33 year old woman.

You know when you look around and compare yourself to others (I know I know comparison is the their of joy...) and think, wow, those people are in such a better place than me right now... which is dumb as a I know I am SO lucky with things I have and I should appreciate that I am in a better position in lots of aspect of my life to so many people in the World...yet as humans I think we just can't help it, we compare. We get sad.

Where are the answers?

Sad Journal Part 2

 In follow up to my last one, more hurt time in relation to the same topic... So back in 2020, when I'd just turned 31, I started feeling like I was less sure about whether I wanted kids or not, after 30 odd years of thinking I definitely didn't.  He and I had a conversation about it where I said I was less sure about not wanting them, ie potentially may do at some point, and he said he felt the same so that was good.  We both agreed though that there's an 'order' we'd like to do things and it'd be something to consider after getting engaged and being married.  I said that I'm now in my 30s and as risks start increasing way more rapidly after 34, then maybe it should be a bit of a '5 year plan' (but less...) type deal as with an aim to be trying by at least 34. So, I thought after all this serious life talk, we may have been engaged within 12 months, ideally married in the following 12 months, and ready to start trying to start a family when I

Sad Journal

Another personal journaling post so will be making this one private too. I find it helps to write and get things out though, I recommend it. At least it's less frequent that I'm feeling the need to write these I guess. Things just haven't turned out like I thought they would in life. Some things for the better, some have been disappointing and get me down because I hoped to be in certain places with my relationships. He's been struggling with his anxiety and feeling over-worked again saying 'yes' to too many work commitments, not sleeping well at all and not seeming himself and feeling down about comparing himself to others etc but I'm feeling the toll on myself too again :(   A couple of nights ago we were watching a film and he randomly started asking me what sort of wedding I'd want and stating what he doesn't think he'd want, he's thinking he just wants something small etc, I was like  "I don't know?! We're not even engaged

Questioning

lots of things.  Late night ponderings. Feeling sad. You know when you just want need a hug and that feeling of support from someone and want to be able to trust people around you 100%?  Also, not being able to scream into the world all the reasons why you get these feelings and worries.  I guess this is my vague way of doing that, trying to ease the stress and sadness a bit without actually sharing as such.  Some of the things I'd forgotten myself but had reminders of this eve and, my days,  people can be truly awful.  So immoral and with such horrid ways of looking at things and saying things... Distracting myself with writing. Writing and looking up those daft Leonardo with a smug face memes. Sillyyyyy. They're helping though. As is the writing. I do worry though. People are a disappointment really, aren't they? Generally.  They all just let you down.  That's how I'm feeling about the World this evening I guess. Wanting the best for someone, for them to be bet
