For years I have grumbled about Halloween having morphed from a fun time for kids to a full blown event for adults. This in spite of having had a lot of fun at Halloween parties and dress up days at various employers! I don’t know why it bothered me so much, but it did.
But I’m over that now.
The world we live in is a dumpster fire. I don’t think I have to list out all the things that are wrong- just go back and read some of my old posts if are you’ve been living under a rock. I’ve taken to making myself feel better by deciding that I’ll probably be dead before things get as bad as I think they could get. A part of me hopes I’m wrong and the younger generations will find a way to undo the damage before it’s too late, but again, I’ll be dead by then so I won’t be around to celebrate.
So yeah, I totally get why people want to be someone else for a few hours. Why the hell not? Escapism as a form of coping? Sign me up!
I am still not sure as the time of this writing what I’m going to be for Halloween this year. But I know I’m ready to be someone else for a short time.
