Finally hit a breaking point today [View all]

So I wrote out a huge email to friends and family. And well I'm regretting it now, but at the time I was frustrated and just so done being nice and taken advantage of. I'll post the email of what I said.

Hello. Normally each holiday season I normally bake everyone goodies as a Christmas gift since its homemade and easier on the wallet. But this year I will not be doing any baked goods. For the last three fucking Christmas's I've have had to pry a goddamn thank you from the people I've made shit for because they are either too fucking selfish to do so on their own or don't simply care. Its suppose to be a season about giving right? So why is it so fucking difficult to give a thank you? So with that. I am done going forward. Bake your own fucking cookies, make your own cake pops because I'm done being unappreciated for the hard work I do baking this shit every fucking merry holiday season. And those who have the curiosity to say thanks or give in return, you're unaffected.


Yeah I regret sending that out because I gotten a few replies from the ones I called out telling me they said thank you and really don't understand the unjust attack. And that made it worse since I said. WHEN HAVE YOU EVER SAID THANK YOU OUTSIDE OF ME PRYING ONE OUT OF YOU!?

Yeah I had a bad day and this holiday has me more so stressed than previous ones
