ugh, I felt this in my bones. I just recently wrote about Christmas nostalgia, and I loved your more positive twist at the end. I think I really needed to hear that. I really enjoyed reading this, not only because of the content and how I can relate this to me, but I also really loved your writing style :)

thank you so much!! at the end i thought that we could all do with a reminder that change isn’t inherently bad but just different, and different will always take some getting used to. and thank you for your comment on my writing style - i’m still trying to find my true writer’s voice but it’s nice to know that, even in its evolution, it’s still enjoyable to read. and merry christmas!! <3

This is so timely, I just finished writing a piece about grief during the holidays with loved ones gone causing it to be more of an effort to feel Christmas cheer. I’m hoping to have it published Tuesday so I’ll tag you! We can share the Christmas melancholy together 🫶🏻

As you grow more and more older, all the things adults said makes more sense. Wishing you the very best for your exams!
