I hate that you needed to lie about itOften lying is done for the wrong reason , but I firmly believe that there are solid good reasons to lie to prevent further harm . OP ' s situation is one of them , but it ' s good that she can express it in some way anonymously . <| sep |> Or other self imposed challenges that you impose on yourself . <| sep |> Not weeks , but maybe a bit . I want everyone to participate but things work out better when you don ' t let it drag on for weeks . I ' m in a 3 hour car ride and haven ' t even started mine yet although it shouldn ' t take long unless I try to get fancy so yeah probably . I ' ll check if I have many submissions yet . Last I checked I saw like 4 but that was 2 days ago maybe . The Coldplay one got super busy and stressful and I ended up extending the deadline and releasing a couple hours late . I ' ll see when I check my email
