A Sad Halloween
5 years ago
General
So technically I'm still feeling very crappy and it really affects me emotionally and physically. One thing I had been hoping for this year is that I could at least is that since I have a house I'd be able to pass out candy for Halloween. I was legit excited about it. I remember how fun trick-or-treating was when I was a kid, so to have the ability to be one of the adults passing out candy this time felt like a rekindling of the season for me. Sadly though it wasn't exactly as fun as I hoped. I had spent a fair amount on candy for a sizeable bowl, not really expecting to need that much but I figured I'd be prepared. And you know what? I only had one trick-or-treater come by. Part of it was the weather I'm sure, because it ended up being a very windy afternoon and evening. And you know, I'm sure there's plenty of families with younger kids in my area, but I'm sure they took their kids to certain nicer parts of town. Not that where I live is bad or anything. At least the one kid that stopped by was really cool, and I was really happy he had. I let him know that he could take a fair amount but I guess maybe he wanted to stay modest and only took a few pieces. He was a nice kid though, and at least his stopping by did kinda improved my mood a little. It's just that I wish maybe it could have been a little more active. At least I could still enjoy my evening enough by viewing The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's practically required viewing on Halloween right? Depending on who you are I guess. About the only thing that saved my Halloween I guess, it just would have been nice to have been a little more active with trick-or-treaters is all.

But because of the renconfinement decision, they all canceled it. So no costume, no decoration just ended up with the big food with my mom, and in my appartement i had a father with 3 kids coming for sweets, was cute but was deeply saddened and depressed by this situation...
Not to mention that we are facing a wave of attentats here, in France, because islamists declared officially the war because of caricatures of their prophet made by Charlie's hebdo years ago.
