Hello and welcome back to my ramblings.
I wanted to do a little bit of self-promo, but since it's the last day of December, I wanted to say I hope you had a great Christmas and a happy holiday, depending on what you celebrate. Personally, I am not one for Christmas. I hate the Christmas music they blast in every shop, it's way over commercialised, and the suicide rate goes through the roof, because people get depressed, and it all gets too much as Christmas is about being with family, giving and receiving presents. I like the gathering of family and having a nice meal together, but something always seems to go wrong in my family's Christmas; someone gets upset or yelled at. It always seems to be a similar occurrence. I don't like the pleasure of trying to keep the peace. I have known Santa wasn't real for the longest time; I knew it was my mum putting all the presents under the tree and things in the stockings. The part that makes Christmas so sad for me is knowing my mum goes overboard because she didn't get Christmas when she was younger. Her mum was a Jehovah's Witness for many years, so my mum wasn't allowed to celebrate this holiday, so I try to show I'm enjoying it when she brings out the copious amounts of decorations to decorate the house. Every year, I can remember there was always something to start yelling about when it came to putting up the tree. Last year, I said I'm not helping because I'm over all the arguments. I don't think we ended up with a tree at all, and I'm probably to blame for that. There was just so much furniture to move around. Getting a plastic tree out of the loft (attic) and putting plastic decorations on it isn't my idea of fun. That's probably enough Christmas talk, as you may also be burned out from the holiday.
My point of this post was to tell you all I have a podcast coming out on January 5th, the link will be linked in my last few videos on my channel if you want to check it out. It might be good if you are struggling to find something that covers a wide range of topics. Most of the editing is done by me, but this podcast isn't owned by me; it's one of my closest friends' whom I met in college. His name is Leo, and he has a calm, soothing voice that you may find great for winding down to. He gives the vibe of an old vampire/wizard, and as soon as I met him, I thought, vampire. We will talk in the podcast about how we all came to know each other. For now, the podcast is just myself and Leo. As the podcast progresses, we will expand our topics, but I will give you a sneak peek. We have our first episode as a sort of get-to-know-us episode. I know it may not sound like a very interesting episode, but trust me, it gets better.
There was a podcast I was starting with another group of friends but it didn't end up turning out quite the way I had happed so I have my fingers crossed that this one goes better than the first one did (none of the episodes ended up being posted from the last attempt). We may end up having a few guests on but that depends on who is free on the days we are recording.
Tune in every Monday for Ink and Ashes. It's going to be a rollercoaster. ~ Lilly
