Lol I grew up in a family that never had any holiday decloration. To me, those feel like luxury.
But honestly tho, I didn't really care much about holidays, other than the fact that there's a day off that school/work gives.
I never dressed up for halloweeen, I think it was silly, even from a young age, I never liked cosplaying, especially not cosplaying monsters. I think I only went to like idk maybe 2 trick or treat, then I just never did it again, didn't like it.
Am I anti-social or something?
Idk wtf even is a "normal" childhood, I never had a good childhood. I just see kids having cool stuff and I never do. Ugh, capitalism...
Sometime I just watch some TV shows or Anime and see child-characters (or flashbacks of characters of their childhood) doing fun stuff and I'm like... idk... so jealous of it. I feel so... emotional about it, I just daydream, get obsessed with idea of a loving family, imagine my self as those characters having fun.
Ah I wish I can just reincarnate and do it again, hope for a better family, in a good country, I wanna experience a fun childhood.
Ah, fuck... I wanna cry
What is life?
I can't help with most of that, but I get joy from handing out full size candy bars and hanging out with friends on Halloween. For like $100 I have enough full size bars to hand out all night, and two distances of sacktoss for kids to win another piece/pack of Halloween pokemon cards. We sit in the driveway and set up videogames and drink (lightly since you don't want to catch public intoxication) just running the sacktoss for 5 hours.
Seeing kids so happy makes it all worth it.
