It's really surprising to see how the year ran by in a blink of an eye. It's like this year was struck by lightening and it became the flash. One minute, the month was January, and the next minute, December came like an alarm clock. The sound of children laughing, and happy due to their parents have gotten their Christmas clothes, is in the air and I can feel it from where I stand.
The changed weather has already prepared for the season, the sky is bright and beautiful, the dehumidified air entering my nostrils, is a strong reminder of the countdown to the Christmas holiday.
People buy Christmas tree and Christmas lights, while the sweet musical sound of Christmas is heard from a close distance.
We are in that time of the year, when love and compassion is shown between strangers. This is when people cook different variety of foods, so they can share with their friends, neighbors, and family, even their enemies. I love this time of the year.
Last year holiday was not actually fun for me, but then, the sacrifice was worth it, as it paid off handsomely.
Each December comes with celebration, holidays and Christmas music playing here and there. The sounds of knock out (fire cracker) is the first sign that depicts the arrival of Christmas.
I did not get to enjoy my holiday last year, and I will actually love to enjoy this holiday to the fullest, but then, this seems like a genjutsu because I'm a nurse. The thought of it always makes me feel like I'm stuck in Madara's infinite tsukuyomei.
Everybody is now talking about the holiday and how they plan to spend it, but then, we, nurses, are thinking of how to work diverse shifts during this holiday. Nursing is not for the weak ya'know.
Asking me when does my holiday starts, is like reminding me of a sad reality. I don't actually have holidays. Even, on the 25th of this month, I am on morning duty. The hospital I work with just gave me only 7 days off this month. It's not 7 days straight off duty, its 2 days off every every 1 week, and 1 day off in the last week.
I would not actually say that I like the fact I'm not going for holiday, neither will i say i hate It, but then, so long as I'm doing what i love to do the most, im happy.
Even though I really want to spend my time with my family, I can't. Instead, my holiday will be spent at work, with the patients that I'm caring for.
I'm not annoyed by it, neither in I happy, but I'm glad and I feel fulfilled because I am, at least, making good use of my time to aid the healing process of other individuals.
Since my fate for this December holiday has been sealed, I will try to get enough time during the new year holiday so that I can visit my family. A two days or three days trip would not hurt.
This is my entry for the hive learners prompt.
