It has been a tradition of mine write a round up of Christmas here on the blog.This year I am more reflective on the year past more than Christmas itself. In years gone by the anticipation of Christmas juxtaposed to the reality results in the sense of a good orbad time.

This year was totally different for a number of reasons and as such , there was no anticipation nor expectation. Therefore Christmas was something that happened and was enjoyed immensely.

As I stated earlier, I am more reflective on the year and those events that befell me. Some of my own choice, whilst others were the designs and desires of others. Good or bad I have learnt of what is important and am resolute to follow my own path into the future.

So what exactly am I shedding? Firstly, I suppose its caring. Not the conventional meaning of offering nursing and nuturing to others. I am talking about the effects, plans, and their execution of others who are all about destroying all in their path. Simply put, I don’t care; what you’ve done, nor who knows as I will tell.

Secondly, I am not prepared to live pleasing others when others simply are incapable of attempting to do the same because their own egos are the only beneficiaries of what they please. Whether senior churchgoers who have little true faith or family that believe its ok to defraud me; everyone’s one chance has become, no chance.

Thirdly, I am no longer accepting the notion of being used. Everyone has needs but not everyone understands the needs of others.

I have spent too much time in 2025 hiding away in the downwards spiral of a breakdown causes to take more of peoples’ shit. If you are my friend then you’ll continue to be. The choice is not mine but yours.

So here’s the middle finger to 2026.
