Are we sure it isn’t some kind of security system to keep thieves away? Akin to stepping on a Lego in the dark.

Reply to Do you find yourself reading more non-fiction books and less fiction as you get older? by disruptivelychill

Probably my favorite genres are is history and historical fiction and biographies/memoirs. I need to know about things that really happened because it’s helping me understand me in my life and peoples experiences around me. Least favorite genre would be fantasy. No time for that lol.

Reply to comment by wintrysilence in Why “the Christmas feeling” is more profound than you think - some holiday themed philosophy by Melodic_Antelope6490

I fucking hate Christmas, it fills me with dread. The holidays were really tough when I was a kid, since day 1. im not going to trauma dump here, but it’s relevant to share I had a religious cult parent who believed Christmas is sinful, and drunk parent that had custody of me at holidays. When I was finally an adult, I wanted to finally have the warm fuzzy holiday like in the movies. I had dreamed of it my whole life. So I really tried for a couple decades to have the Christmas magic. I had a few nice times, but it was empty of any meaning or purpose and ended up t times feeling was lonelier than doing nothing. I eventually gave up because in the end, it’s bullshit Christian holiday that won’t fix your fucked up family. And it’s a total resource suck, you will never be able to throw enough money at it.
