Oct. 31st, 2010 05:02 pmIt's all very strange wearing so much black! I usually never wear this much at all. Or any black for that matter. I've never thought of it as one of my colors.
I told Benedette this, but I don't know if I told anyone else. This is the first year I have anyone to pray for on the Night of the Dead who I knew well. It's... not very easy, I guess. Everyone's been so nice helping me to really understand it better than I ever did. This holiday used to really confuse me because I didn't know how nice it can be to mourn so openly. I used to just do what everyone told me and hoped it would all be over soon.
Now I think I strangely looking forward to it. I can mourn, and then move forward. Not to forget everything, but just not to dwell on it a lot...
I hope I'm not alone in really thinking about this?
