I used to love making things beautiful
Now, I just want to survive my day.
I wish my world were still filled with finesse
But you see, I am overwhelmed by this mess.
Still, I try to make things lovely and nice,
Baking sweet things with sugar and spice.
Clearing shelves and setting out decor,
But for some reason, it doesn’t sparkle like before.
I keep hoping for the magic to return.
Until it does, I’ll fake this smile and carry on.
I can’t tell you how many people I know feel exactly this way, including me. It’s just gone. You are so not alone. Flat and “is it over yet?” feelings are everywhere.

A little, but it didn’t feel like Christmases past. Next time!
