‘I’m trying to reframe festive loneliness. It is easier to say than to do. I am not trying to make light of the bad bits. But I am trying to find light.’ @palebackwriter on the joy/grief lasagne of Christmas for @timesscotland thetimes.com/article/432a10e…

We were thrilled to get a shout out in @palebackwriter's gorgeous column this week in @timesscotland. In it, she talks about glimmers of festive joy, and how they are helpful to navigate the challenging feelings that can come with this time of year, especially loneliness.
