I was chatting with a friend the other day and the subject came up that the past six months or so seem to have been difficult for almost everyone.

My words were “it just seems like the majority of people are.. well.. frazzled.”

Maybe it all appears so vivid now because it’s “the holidays” and almost everyone I know has family drama of some sort, which obviously comes out of the woodwork during “the holidays”.

I’m not a big fan of “the holidays”.

*I had a housemate once who made her living as an astrologer, everything was explained by the placement of the stars. This particular phrase was used by the centaurs in Harry Potter to explain the dark events facing young Harry in year one.
