Halloween Hangover?
November 2, 2021
Y’all know I go hard on costumes (see below), and Halloween season fills me with delight.
This year, it’s also a time of dramatic juxtaposition.
Over the last week, I’ve created 5 costumes, using 10 feet of hot glue.
My Halloween hangover persists but has nothing to do with alcohol. It’s about the feeling of purpose and playfulness I get during costuming seasons—and the crash that follows.
Halloween night, a friend said it beautifully: “Oh yeah, I get it. Costuming as a coping mechanism.”
Lots of folks I talk with are struggling right now, myself included. Still, we can find joy and delight. We can seek out connection.
