i have a theory

i have a theory that most people are currently in denial.

christmas was not fine. everything isn't, either. and nothing will be alright.

there is a reason why depression rates go up in the holiday season, and there is a reason why this is the time where everyone is reaffirming their beliefs and restating for themselves to see that everything is alright. that things are better.

in their blog, in their diares, in their journals, to their friends, to their familes, to their church, to their congregration, through text messaging, through phone calls, through email, though instant messaging, on television, on radio, in the newspaper, the books we read, the music we listen to, the television we watch and the movies we choose.

in the shower, in the mirror, in our heads, to ourselves, on our blogs.
