I ain't go lie, I wasn’t feeling like Christmas at all this year. Between all these visions I getting and the weird changes I feel like I going through, my head does just be spinning. Most of the time I feeling real shaky, like I constantly watching my back and worrying 'bout what coming next.

But yuh see tonight? All that change.

Is Christmas Eve and I home with Mommy and Daddy. Just hearing them laugh and talk does make me realize that for all the big, scary things out there, this right here is the only thing that really matter. We mightn’t have much, but as long as we together, we have plenty. Mommy insist she must drink she sorrel out a wine glass, and Daddy refuse to use any glass at all for he beer. For me? Once I have a slice of black cake in my hand, I good. Is them little things does make the time special.

I really don't know what tomorrow bringing or what waiting for me 'round the corner, but I don't have to study that tonight. Tomorrow go handle itself.

Thanks for following me and my journey so far. Wishing alyuh a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. ❤️🎄✨

If yuh ask the people who know me, they will tell yuh: "Giselle always smiling."

But that is just because I does try my best not to show my cards. I learn the hard way that if people know how yuh really feel, they will find a way to use it against yuh. So if I cryin’? I cryin’ by myself. If I worried? That is between me, myself, and I.

I practically perfected the art of staying quiet. People does usually leave yuh alone if they can’t figure yuh out.

But lately... I find it gettin’ harder to keep the mask on.

It have a specific feeling building up inside my chest. Pressure. Heat. Rage.

I find myself gettin’ vex at everything and everyone. Even small things that I would usually brush off... now they making my blood hot.

I feelin’ like David Banner these days. Like it have a whole Hulk inside just scratching to get out. I don’t know where it comin’ from, but I know I have to keep it locked down tight.

I trying my best to hold it in. Trust me.

Because I don’t think alyuh would like me when I angry.

People probably wondering why I always sitting so quiet by myself, even after the bell ring for break. They think I just being anti-social. But I actually practicing.

Plenty of them does say I like to "zone out." If they only know. 🤫

Remember when I tell alyuh about how I seeing another place even when I awake? Well... I think I learning to control it. Kinda.

So when I somewhere I don't want to be, like school, I could actually be somewhere else. 😎 A lot of what I say don't make sense. Alyuh should be used to that by now.

It hard to explain. Is not like I just imagining it or thinking about a "happy place." Is like I actually transport myself there. Like... I here, but I also there... while I still here. 😵‍💫 Alyuh understand?

The places I go to does be real nice to. Peaceful. Calm.

I have to be careful though. Sometimes I does wander off into the quiet place while the teacher talking, and she probably thinking I have ADHD or something and want to call my parents. 😅

Alyuh ever be somewhere yuh don't want to be, and just wish yuh could step out of the frame? I feel that does happen to everybody, they just don't tell anybody about it.

School is... not a easy place for me.

Most days, I feel... real out-a-place. Is a lonely kind of feelin', yuh know? The other children in school could see how out-a-place I does feel, and trust meh, they don't do anything to change that.

Then it have these two. Shaliza and Krystal 🙄. Is like they have a radar or something. The second I trip and fall, or drop meh lunch, or I just feel uncomfortable... bam, they right there, watchin' meh. I know they convinced that is them makin' me feel so uneasy.

If they only know. They doh really matter. They can't see what I see.

Remember I told alyuh I does be seein' the dream world, even when I wide awake? Well... this is one of those times. It have something, lurking. Just behind a veil or something.

I feelin' it tryin' to get through. Like it... comin' for me.

I have this feelin' that one of these days, it’s going to just... break through. And when that happen...

I honestly don't know what I go do.
