    Despite all the awfulness, it can be kinda nice to be amongst a lot of humans celebrating something.

    I mean, I’m not doing it, but it’s not all bad.

    I usually get myself so distracted by something that I don’t even realize the new year has started until about 30 minutes past midnight. I didn’t know why I bother stay up any more.

    The last time I went to a bar on New Year Eve, I paid 20 bucks to get in, bought my first drink and started goofy dancing to a song that came on the radio. Then I got thrown out for being intoxicated.

    Staying at home myself, but I think the trick is to enjoy the moments between those frames.

      If you don’t enjoy the moments in those frames, don’t go to some overcrowded place. There are no moments in between.

      A lot of people enjoy it. I can’t understand them, so I stick to small crowds.

        The moments in between are usually comprised of dissociation and wishing I was anywhere else. The crowd has already sapped me of any energy I would’ve used to yell over the music while talking to yelling at friends.

    My admittedly boring method:

    • stay home

    • do stuff, maybe video games

    • go to sleep whenever I feel like it

    • wake up at the normal time

      I used to stay up when I was younger just to witness the year changing, but now I’m old and just go to bed. It will be there in the morning.

      I’ve found that, at least for me, I need to do social things, amazing things, and ceremony around it is also fine. Otherwise, I lose track of time and dark thoughts happen.

      I encourage all to celebrate holidays or special events as much as you can, while you can. Every morning you wake up and can see and hear and smell and taste and feel and think. And if you’re short somewhere in that list, you probably already understand what I’m talking about. Life is short and a lot of people want yours to be shitty. Don’t let them win.

      That being said, if you like playing videogames, don’t let the people who don’t appreciate that to make you feel like that isn’t quality time.

    I’ve never been out on new year’s, I’ve always been in my home or a friend’s or family member’s. Oh, tell a lie, on the millennium I was at church.

    I made a tasty blueberry lavender cake, leek gratin with homemade bread and watched the stranger things finale. Ideally I’d go to sleep now but goddamn fireworks are scaring my dog.

    I’m so glad that my partner and I just stay in and enjoy each other’s company with some drinks. Going out on NYE is absolutely god awful.
