Сложные праздники: когда семья не идеальная картинка

The holidays are supposed to feel magical… but for a lot of us, they’re also a reminder that not every family looks like the picture-perfect ones we see on TV.

Some families are messy, complicated, or downright dysfunctional. And sometimes that means spending holidays or birthdays alone… or choosing to celebrate with the family we’ve created instead of the one we were born into. 💛

If this season feels heavy for you, just know you’re not the only one. You’re not “wrong” for protecting your peace, setting boundaries, or choosing the people who make you feel safe and loved.

Family isn’t always blood; sometimes it’s the friends who show up, the partner who understands, or even the community you’ve built yourself.

If you’re one of the strong ones navigating all of this during the holidays, I see you. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough. 🤍✨
