Over the last few days I have been fighting off very melancholic feelings. I try very hard not to let them build up. For someone who lives in house where it can be impossible to get a minute of solitude, I feel very lonely sometimes. That feeling can spiral into a cycle of picking on myself to justify the feelings. I am trying very hard to show myself some of the kindness that I show to others. It isn’t easy.
Tonight, I took the time to make a cocktail, sort out the candles and just try to find some calm acceptance of being me. After all, the season of goodwill should include goodwill to myself.
Hopefully normal service with naughty, silly, sexy or all three pictures will be resumed shortly.

Oh I know that feeling. We have 6 days of kids free time now and I plan to make the most of it

You are very lucky. You have your man all the time plus time with him when the kids are away. Right now, six hours with my man feels like a dream.
<3<3<3 I think this is a wonderful post; self-compassion can be much harder than having compassion for others. All your feelings are valid feelings, and it's okay to feel them.
i think this is gorgeous Honey, i think all of your photos are!
“the season of goodwill should include goodwill to myself”
This can be very, very hard. I struggle with it myself. I’m happy you took the time to do something calming and good. You deserve to be looked after, especially by you. Xxxxxx
This resonates a great deal for me – the feeling, the recognition that we need to care for ourselves, *and* the cocktail and candles approach 🙂
Be what you need to be, and I hope you feel less like it’s a fight to keep going soon
It’s always harder to be nice to ourselves.
*hugs*
I cannot begin to imagine how difficult these days must be for you, when you want to be with your man at all times. Be strong, sweetie, better times will come. And in the meantime, it’s good to see you have some goodwill for yourself too! *hugs*

Great shot and I am glad you are showing good will to yourself. Xxx
Strangely I feel at my loneliest when I’m surrounded by people. I’m glad you’ve taken time for yourself to enjoy a cocktail or few!
I have the sads lately too. I should go get some booze from the fridge.
