Amaneet Sran I don’t really know how to feel… a-lot of different type of emotions but not knowing how to explain it. Everything but nothing at the same time. 🥹

Ghostie Gal I’ve been enjoying them, which is a change for me! Normally I don’t really care for this time of year, and just sort of coast by. But school has been extremely stressful this semester and I really needed the break! I’ve gotten back into reading and have treated myself to new books following some Christmas gift cards, and have been spending time with family.

V N I’m so glad you’re treating yourself! I’m with you on the school stress, so hang in there. Books are one of the only things keeping me sane this holiday season :)

izzy💕 i’m doing good, hanging in there!

Quinno Wuinno It’s been… strange. There’s my whole dad’s side of the family that I don’t even talk to anymore. They’re just.. not good people, and I tried relentlessly to mend something that they kept on breaking. I enjoy my time with a specific part of my family, but not really when it comes to my step family. It’s always “call me grandma and treat me like your blood related family” while treating my brothers and I like we’re not hers. Although nothing inherently “bad” happened this year, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong. There was still this strange part of me that didn’t want to be there. Like I still couldn’t be myself… also the fact my grandma kept deadnaming me despite the fact every one else there was referring to me as my chosen name. It felt like she was being inconsiderate since she deadnamed me a lot that evening. I don’t know… I love their dog though. I could be by that puppy’s side all day and not be bored. The dog is partially the reason why I was sane the whole time. Anyways, how’s your holidays? How have you been doing? Let me know if you want to talk to, because I’m always here to listen.

izzy💕 ahhh, i definitely know how you feel. sometimes, you really do have to recognize whether being around your family is good for you or not. i’ve had to just stop talking to certain family members just because they like to gossip or not respect boundaries, etc. i hope you figure out what’s best for you, don’t let them cross your boundaries, especially deadnaming. but my holidays were pretty cool actually, im not used to having good memories during the holidays so it’s def a change! but thank you :) always here to listen as well, hope you’re having an amazing new year!
