christopher gutierrez: Lee Ving had it right.
It has been a lean holiday season over here at the deadxstop headquarters. Shopping was almost non-exsistent due to keeping the lights on and paying for my new book to be released. But don’t worry, this won’t be one of those posts where I complain about not having money because we all know…
I broke down last week because I couldn’t afford to get gifts for my family. Even though, by all reasonable standards, no one expects gift from a college student, I felt guilty because everyone was going out of their way to get things for me. In a last ditch attempt, I hand-made and concocted things that meant more than any $30 necklace or purchase would have. And somehow, things turned out alright, and the gifts I gave were much appreciated.
This really speaks for the whole process I went through this Christmas. Because even though it may resonate with me loud and clear, Chris just somehow always says it better.
This year, I’m going to start using my soul.
Really using it.
