"This might be very off topic, but this sub feels like home and I just thought it'd be the best place to share something that feels very important to me :D

Decorating our huuuge Christmas tree was always a big big family thing during my childhood, and I loved it. It filled me with joy. When I moved out of my parent's house, I tried to build the same tradition with my now ex-boyfriend, but it was never quite the same. We recently broke up, I came out as a lesbian, and my life has changed so much in the past few months. It hasn't been easy, and I thought that decorating my small Christmas tree by myself for the first time of my life was going to be difficult. It wasn't. I listened to Christmas songs the whole time, and I felt incredibly happy. I'm really grateful for this little space of mine "
