"Christmas" Spectacular... Christmas "Secular"?

Went to the Radio City Music Hall next to the Rockefeller Center today (Christmas Day) with Ray and Andrya and her aunt's family to see the Christmas Spectacular show.

Spectacular it was, but it felt shallow and devoid of meaning. Santa's and elves, toys and dancers. Sure, they paid lip service by tagging on the nativity story at the end. But still, all in all, not so impressed.

More to come later about... flight to New York, Sunday service at NYCAC, not seeing the Statue of Liberty twice, rainy Christmas Day, and the $55 evening Andrya's friend took us to.

Niles Crane: "... the first step toward healing is not to bury the pain, but to feel it at its fullest depth."

Have Not, Want Not

You see, it matters not what I want.

Because I'll never get what I want.

That's how life works. My life isn't about me.

Even in my life, I'm an afterthought.

Crumbling...

... under the constant pressure, the expectations, the unattainable standards, the impossible quest for happiness...

Why do I even bother? We all know where it'll eventually end.
