Reality Check

[roofpig13]

It's tough to get a slap-in-the-face type of moment to put things into perspective.  I was going to do a whiny post today about how much Halloween means to me and how it basically didn't exist for me this year, but after reading a very serious and honest post from a close friend earlier, I couldn't.  It just made me feel all "first world problems"

I think it's important to recognize and even whine a bit about missing out on our favorite holidays. If you think about it, it's not about bemoaning the lack of festivity, but recognizing the need to take time and put in effort to nurture ourselves and be kind to ourselves. Especially as artists, making time to create those emotional and experiential feasts like favorite holidays is so important.

Very true. At least we'll have New Years, right? :-)
