Hi, so I left my abusive family on New Years Eve. I don’t really have friends and I’m trying to make some but it’s difficult. I find myself alone for Easter. What are some recommendations for what I should do? 1/2

If you’re not religious, there might be some more secular community gatherings that you can go to in your area, depending on where you live, like at a local park or smth. I also just find it nice to take walks and enjoy nature during this time of year. Listening to some music, podcast, or ebook while doing so helps it feel less lonely 💜

I think this may be the case until I find my future partner and make my own family with them. But for now, I’m not sure how to get through this year’s holidays.

First of all, congrats on leaving your family. That’s a big decision, so lots of respect is due there. Second of all, if you’re religious, maybe you could try visiting a new church? I think for holidays like Easter, church communities keep in mind that they might be seeing some new folk, so they try to be extra friendly. As someone who is spending the holiday alone + trying out a new church tmr, I find something comforting about going to a place where no one knows me, less pressure that way!
