Christmas is the worst. There’s no other time of year when I’m as sad or as lonely. Not only has Christmas lost its sparkle, over time, I’ve come to feel so worthless that it’s unbearable to be with people. I purposely travel to places filled with people I don’t know because I’m more comfortable there, where I can pretend I’m invisible.

Have you ever fantasized about tearing down your entire life and starting over? I have. And then I actually did it.
