The Christmas Week 

    It has come to be the most festive week of the year, but it was also the busiest week, like ever. Presentations and assignments nearly took my breath away, not to mention tests and extra studying. I always like tight timetables, because the tiredness that comes after work makes me feel alive. Plus, weekends are ultimately lovely after weary weekdays. I went to watch the Spider Man movie which just came out on the 15th with my friends. I waited for so long for the film, and Marvel didn’t disappoint me. Every scene of the movie and its story line were just extraordinary, you won’t be able to waste a second on your phone, or even on blinking while watching. It is worth more than its ticket costs, plus, the actors who took part in this movie took the whole piece to another level. So, if you haven’t watched it, please go to the theater and watch it!

    Watching Spider-Man was like an opening to my Christmas week, the activities of celebrating the Joy of Christmas obviously won’t just pause here. I went to a gift exchange party, you could tell what I did at the party just by its name. I received a lovely gift! Now, I have my lovable candle lamp on my desk accomplishing me even when I am writing this journal.

    I thought I am not a festive person, I don’t like having too much socializing  in my life, because socializing is frustrating and tiring. Interaction with unfamiliar people makes me want to stay at home and hide under the blanket forever. It is the reason why I thought festivals and celebrations were not my thing. I avoided going to parties in the past, also to try to get into and enjoy the joy, anxiety visited when it came to the festive season. However, I realized one thing lately, it was not about the festivals or celebrations, it was me all the time trying to escape from the fear of being left behind. I started to let go of the side of me which avoided interactions, and began to stick with the people I like. Then I found out the festivals can be full of joy and warmth, if the people around you were the right people.
