Cabalen Christmas Countdown 39: Poinsettia
I saw today's art prompt and needed to consult Mr. Google.😋
poinsettia
/ˌpɔɪnˈsɛtɪə/
noun
a small Mexican shrub with large showy scarlet bracts surrounding the small yellow flowers, popular as a houseplant at Christmas
Here is my art. A humble one. I hope I can get back to freewriting soon. Year end is always busy with school's holiday and people travelling places. And I am still here trying to overcome writing block, but I can feel the brain juice is kicking in soon.
Poinsettias are popular flowers we used to decorate church and malls during Christmas. The common one will be red colour but there are other variation of colours too like white, yellow and pink.
This caused me to think that we, as human beings, are the same species of varieties of features and behaviours. We are different yet we are same. All of us have different strength and weaknesses but together combined, we can change the world.
Just want to tell as you are reading this, that you are beautiful just as you are. Others are beautiful too and we tend to see others are more beautiful than us, but you are special one and irreplaceable. You are just amazing the way you are.
Love, Jade💕

Terima kasih. :)
Every year I dread Christmas coming, such a lonely time of surviving it
I am sorry about this. If you may, may I ask why isit a lonely time... If not reply here, maybe DM me.
Because most of them I spend alone and can't wait until they are over. The ones I do get to spend with anyone is usually too loud for my ears to bear and so I spend my time in my room or going for walks
Honestly, I pause here for awhile not knowing what to reply. I could go on and ask you somemore questions but it would not be nice I think. Like invading people's personal space. Just wondering are you staying alone or with family members or? You are not obligated to answer me at all. No worries. I just curious and I hope you can end this year not feeling lonely and look forward for new year too! :)
A smile for you. 😊
Most years I find myself far away in some hotel or other and can let it all go by. This year I will be with family..son and his daughter
I hope this year, things will be better. Maybe it can be a year of restoration and getting closer. Or a change in everyone. I am not sure. So I am sending my best wishes to you, my steemitbloggers fambam :)
