All alone for the holidays, and a mix of emotions.

Hello, never been very good about talking about "me" (thank you autism spectrum), but i'm gonna try!

I live away from home, My parents are in Arizona, while I live in the SF Bay Area, and since I moved five years ago, i've always made a habit of going to visit them for Christmas, either at their place, or meeting somewhere half way. This is the first year I won't be able to, nor have I been able to see them since last Christmas due to concerns about compromising their health.

On one side i'm kinda happy that I don't have to do the drive (I don't like flying), but at the same time, i'm depressed that I can't see my parents. I family on my Mom's side here, but after a very socially distanced Birthday get together, we decided Thanksgiving and Christmas would also be a bad idea.

so to put it simply, I guess i'm kinda lonely and depressed over it. I fully admit to being introverted but it's been sad to know I won't get to see them. I'm sure i'm not the only one facing this issue this Holiday Season either, and thank god for the internet, but it's still been rough, and I worry it'll get worse the closer things get to Christmas.
