Santa is more of a non religious figure though, so I prefer him.

“Santa Claus was created by the Coke Cola Company. They took St. Nicholas and dressed him in Red and White, instead of Green and Grey, just so he would match the Soda Pop Cans. They are actually the same. I liked him BEFORE they changed him.”

Now the coke company has a giant bear that I have seen in a home video funny thing scare a kid by trying to gnaw on the poor guys head.

“They should have just stuck with the one dressed in Green. After all, Green and Red ARE the colors of Christmas. They would have been more with the times.”

Also on the topic of the holidays, don’t tell my family I am the one making the candy canes vanish.

“Careful, or Krampus may find out, and punish you.”

Not too worried. Before covid and when I was still doing DnD my DM took us on a campaign to deal with Krampus. I think we respect each other as he knows what I can do to punish him.

Much like how I feel a bit smug knowing my existence absolutely infuriates people

“I am not just shy. I am TERRIFIED of that world out there.”

I just remind myself that it doesn’t really matter what other people think (and most of the time they don’t really care as much as I think they do anyways)

But as long as I feel good in my own skin I am ok.

Well I shall act in some manner to help with courage.

(I don’t know it wasn’t that well thought out I just felt the need to say that.)

I get you. I used to have this thinking that most people would just hurt or judge me, but something that helped me was understanding that most people experience the same range of emotions as myself. The same fear, sadness, anger, excitement, etc


Knowing that there was probably a moment in our lives where we laughed about something, or loved and missed someone, makes it easier to connect to people because it kinda switches my brain into thinking “there’s definitely some feeling or experience we shared at different points in time,” instead of feeling like I have to hide from them.

In a way it’s like that scene in the Prisoner of Azkaban where facing the thing you’re most afraid off will it transform it into a funny/happy object.
