I also live alone Jesse, my husband died in 2010. I have a family and I spend Christmas with them and during the Pandemic I spent Christmas on my own and I was glad when it was over. I feel for you Jesse as being lonely can destroy our self esteem and make us feel very sad. I am glad you have some friendships that you value in life, keep smiling and enjoy the friendships on this site where there are always listening ears, love Dolly x x x

Well, honey bunch I am your friend. And, I bet you have lots of friends on here. I know it is not the same as someone being there in person, but it does help. I am mainly housebound too. Yes, I miss people too. I sure miss driving and running errands. But, I choose to be happy. So, Happy holidays sweetie. Karen

Thank you for sharing this with us. I think it's a great idea to write a gratitude list. I believe all of us should do that. I am going to. We get so busy with our lives that we forget what's and who's really important us. You remain in my prayers.

Another fine write, Jesse------and you're so right, it's so important to let someone know how much thry mean to you and to focus on being grateful, and not wallow in a sea of resentment and regret

There were a few grammatical errors within this piece, which are easy fixes. You don't have subject/verb agreement on at least one incident, which isn't a big deal.
I feel for you, however, because I've had many holidays in which I've never even heard a familiar voice. It can be very tough to be on the outside looking in. The lyrics of a song mock me at this moment, "There are days from outside her window when I see my reflection as I slowly pass. I long for this mirrored perspective, when we'll be lovers at last."
Despite the handful of grammar issues, this story was a bit... negative in my mind. I understand that you turn it around within the last few paragraphs, but it IS tough to have such few people, when your caregivers are your only "friends." I'm very lucky to have my brother, who speaks to me most days... but when you have so few people... it really can get really lonely.
I would've liked if you spent more time-- and maybe even gave examples-- of all you ARE thankful for, because the list may be longer than you'd thought.

.This is authentic and relatable. There are mire people alone than we think. I spent long days and nights for decades completely alone. I understand it can get dark. Because winter is darker too, try to counteract it.
Maybe once a day post a few jokes here. I'll read and reply. Consistency is so important and the caregivers you have are happy to spend time with you I'm sure. Write a super hero poem or story about caregivers who live super he t I double lives, fiction.
You have people who care.
I do.
Have a good day,
Alex :)

What a wonderful, but sad story. It sucks not having friends or family around at this time of year. You are never alone Jesse you have all of you friends here on Fanstory. I too have no friends other than my Fanstory friends. It helps me get through my day.
This is a heart tugging story

Journey to Gratitude" is a deeply personal and heartfelt piece that captures the essence of loneliness and the search for connection during the holiday season. The narrative starts with a nostalgic reference to "I Love Lucy," using humor to juxtapose the current sense of isolation. This sets the stage for a poignant exploration of the author's feelings of abandonment and longing for human connection.
