What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?

I used to love holidays.

But as I’ve grown up I’ve realised just how small my world seems to be compared to those around me. How many options they have to spend with other people that aren’t me, and how few options I have.

Holidays are difficult for me, not wanting to get in the way. Feeling like I’m around because people think that they have to have me around, rather than them wanting me around.

Part of me would just rather to be alone on me own for most holidays. But I can’t do that without the person I live with needing to be with me. So I’m kind of stuck going so they can go.

This is before we even get the fact that of the limited family members whose homes are accessible to me, none of them are easy for me to get in.

So I guess this one is a reminder that not everyone likes holidays. Holidays are not easy for everyone. So be kind.
