They're Singing Deck The Halls, But It's Not Like Christmas At All...

So, Christmas has been approaching for some considerable time now and around the Christmas period, everything that goes on seems to be a lot bigger. Things go on in your head that normally would just pass through as normal and then you'd get on with your life but at Christmas, an honest side comes out in people, I interpret this as being honest with myself, not anybody else, just me. The reason for this being if I told people what did go on in my head, other people would soon find out and those people will multiply at an exponential rate until I am stuck in a position where everybody knows my thoughts. Not cool. So yeah, under the honesty umbrella, there can be many different things that can be troubling... Feelings towards other people, pressure of exams/college/work, being afraid to tell people what you really want etc... So over the Christmas period I have been doing exactly this and finding the odd surprise, which is always going to happen, but it is not these surprises themselves that are where you find out who you really are, it isn't until you start to deal with these surprises that you find out how strong your character is and whether you have the desire to fulfil what you find out. 


The quote in the picture (above) was found when I was 'stumbling' on stumbleupon.com and even though my persona suggests otherwise, deep down I am a bit of a romantic. Therefore this quote kinda meant something to me when I read it, because, it is correct in what it says... You shouldn't just settle for second best or someone who isn't going to get the best out of you and vice-versa, you need to find that one person where you both feel something unequivocal and true. I'm not saying just sit around and wait for that person, go out, have some fun and be awesome while trying to find that one. At first, the prospect of finding that person may seem quite daunting but don't be afraid to fail sometimes, be afraid not to try.


To conclude my Christmassy post, I have added a rather well lit American household.

I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.  ~Charles Dickens
