The Friday After Christmas

It's the Friday after Christmas and I've finished unpacking part of my life in a new location. Winter has shown up and Mother is NOT playing games. The sky is overcast while the wind rolls through the calm atmosphere. The Sun has taken a brief respite from duties.

I'm not sad. I'm not depressed. I'm mellow. I'm as mellow as I can be. I'm calm. I guess Wellbutrin is doing her job! Ms. Extended Release be on the move. For that, I am grateful. Who thought ya girl would need an anti-depressant? It's cool though. Ms. Wellington as I call my anti-depressant has made the holidays much more tolerable.

This Christmas was different. It wasn't as busy or capitalistic as with previous years. This holiday wasn't a traveling holiday season. With US Politics being dystopian and authoritarian af, folks are afraid of the frozen waterboys and the other pieces of bacon. Christmas just a Christmas under the Fword.

Despite the current conditions, I and the Professor were able to find joy in this holiday moment even though we don't celebrate. Eggnog, MK Ultra, mixed with horror movies made the holidays gleeful as we walked through the herbal garden of Gethsemane. Not to mention Ya girl also did the Yuletide Tango with the Professor. My Christmas was indeed delightful.

The older I get the more I prefer calm holidays, where there's laughter, dancing, and a good game

of Spades! Throw in some Karaoke and you might discover a new girl group. In the recent years, I've made new traditions with chosen family and doing something different each holiday. Life brings so many changes.

2025 I saw a new era open up for me as I continue to de-center men, deconstruct from religion, and divest from patriarchy altogether. I even learned more about myself sexually and socially. There have been some discoveries that have NOT been so pleasant, I refuse to let trauma define me.

2025 has not been kind in many areas. For the most part it was one bizarre, chaotic, shitty ride. The difference from past stormy years, is that I have a REAL support system. Friendships ended. I gained new friends. There were loved ones disconnected and some that became ancestors. The memories linger on and some memories better forgotten. Still there is a silver lining.

2025 begins in a few days and there's a new chance for it to get better. I am determined to have a better future on all sides. I recently did some tarot readings for the end of the year and it was favorable. However I recognize there's got to be work in order to make it happen! I'm in the space to do so and I have the right opportunities to do so. I'm getting to happy. Thankfully SAD hasn't kicked my ass. She had me in the first half I ain't gonna lie.

I'm going to live in 2026. I'm going to overcome and my ops will fall.

Priestess Out!
