The holidays can feel overwhelming, especially when family dynamics are complex or when our high expectations are not met. It's easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to what we see on social media but remember: however you choose to celebrate is perfectly okay. Whether you're creating your own traditions, spending time with your chosen family, or simply taking a break, your holiday season should be meaningful to you. Don’t let the pressure get to you—we see you, bestie <3
