Writing to you from the total night of 4:50pm, I am once again reminded how much I love light. I love light! Sunlight, especially—nom, nom— but I’ll take what I can get: string lights, tea lights, compliments. If it were up to me, I’d live on the sun, and you’d all be there with me.
If you are a holiday person, I hope you’re flushed with the frenzy of ~preparations~, swathed in tinsely gingham and sweating out cloves and cinnamon. And if you’re not, I hope you’re listening to the feral little mammal powering your brain gears who is squeaking at you to eat more carbs, slow your heart, and sleep til Spring, or at least eight hours a night. And if you happen to fall into neither of these categories, you probably live in California and you probably don’t really need my well-wishes anyway.

Please help or at the very least sympathize. I hope I'm not alone. Thanks for all that you do!
