This can be a really tricky time of year for some folks, as the traditional joyful nature of the holiday season isn’t experienced the same way by everyone. I found myself having a minor existential crisis yesterday just thinking about what I would do with my time over the next several days. My hope for all of you is that you’re able to spend time with family and friends, even if that comes in the form of the parasocial relationships we develop here and through social media.
I’d like to think some of y’all feel like you’ve gotten to know me over the years through what I reveal in my writing, and that’s by design.
