And, in all actuality, I didn't just miss the holiday season, I missed *everything*. I barely hung out with friends (virtual or otherwise), I didn't make any art, I didn't write a lot of free-writing, I barely rested or relaxed, I just *worked*
It was mostly school related activities, yeah, which is why I didn't stop even though a part of me realized how crushing it was while it happened. A necessary evil, but now that it's done, I've gotta deal with the consequences
