Holidays.

I meant to post this on Halloween.

"It's strange the way the holidays can be the hardest days. When you don't feel much like celebrating the thing that the rest of the world seems to be celebrating, that's not a lot of fun. And if whatever everyone else is celebrating happens to be (connected to) something that's broken in your life, that can be some really hard stuff. We know that today is a tough day for a lot of you. Forgive me for saying what I said last year, but I think we got it right so i'm gonna say it again: For people in pain, there's just not that much fun in fear or blood or death on Halloween. I just wanted to take a minute to say that if tonight is a tough one for you, you're not alone. It doesn't make you strange or weak. It's okay to ignore this so-called holiday. Spend tonight with a friend, read a good book, find a song you love... it's okay. This will pass.

Yeah, I still believe that. We still believe that. We're not afraid to say the things nobody says. To place hope in surprising places. We want to be a brave safe place.That's all for that. Whatever you do, be safe tonight. Spend it with a friend. Smile at the pumpkins and do your best to laugh at the wind. It's gonna be okay."
