“I like to spend time alone. I think it’s a lot of fun. I tend to fixate on activities, which is vaguely anti-social considering the fact that most people like to do one thing for a while and then move on, so alone time allows me to give myself permission to do something for five plus hours at a time. I like that. Whether I am playing video games, writing, or watching Hulu, nobody can interrupt me when I am alone to tell me that I’m being weird. But being alone on the holidays extracts such concern from other people that it can make you self-conscious about enjoying yourself; some people, who hate being alone, will make you feel as though there is something diabolically wrong with you for not preparing a turkey this week, a turkey to share. It’s hard to differentiate between self-pity and socially-imposed pity on the holidays: are you really sad to be by yourself, or does it just seem sad?”

I will never get over Tess Lynch’s writing. I love her for putting her thoughts out there, because I never, ever read something so relatable as her pieces.
