Hi, dear friends! How are your pre-Christmas moods? This week, I have so much work that I don’t even know if I’ll manage to do everything I want. I can’t even find time for the blog. And you know why? Because the holidays are approaching, and people are going completely crazy. They buy, spend, consume, and of course, throw away — and I have to handle all that mess in the middle. Sometimes I feel like an elf in a chaos factory.

I’d like to share my thoughts about these people with you. I know it’s not a new topic, because I’ve said many times that I don’t like people, but during the Christmas season this feeling intensifies. Now, I just can’t stand them. Chaos everywhere. Chaos at work, chaos in the shops, chaos on the streets, and probably chaos at the post office too — I haven’t been, but I assume letters are flying around like reindeer.

I love my work. Especially in the evenings, when I can calmly sit at home, relax, and complain to my spouse about how bitter, boring, and nasty people are. In those moments, I like to drink coffee, light my e-cigarette, and think that maybe I could try to understand and accept people as they are. I could be more empathetic, kind, and patient. Of course, that feeling soon fades, and everything goes back to normal. I just remind myself how irritating, paranoid, and mean people can be. Wherever you go — only differences, conflicts, and problems.

That’s just how I am. But I wish you all to find common ground, shared interests, and values. Try to reflect on yourselves and create an atmosphere of warmth, joy, and love. It will make everything easier and better — especially for Grzegorz. I wish you happy and peaceful pre-Christmas shopping — and may no one trample you in the line for the carp.
