terrible years really make you understand the point of a new year. i know nothing much will have changed between dec 31 and jan 1, but we need to be able to partition off everything that’s happened to us, we need a moment to say, ‘that’s done, we’re done with it, it’s over’ and have a little hope that the future will be different. we need to be able to stop and take a breath and sing, in the middle of winter, and prepare ourselves for spring.
All the naysayers going “you know it’s not just 2020 and that the events of this year are actually the result of decades and 2021 won’t be magically better”
Ahhh yes, strawman naysayer in my head and on my fb tl, I see you are very intelligent. But pal, it’s absolutely not the point at all. Hope has nothing to do with logic. We need celebrations the most when there is seemingly nothing to celebrate, which is why, even when everything is dark and bleak and we can’t even be together with the people we love, we put on our silly little party hats on december 31st, say “good riddence 2020 you absolute trash bastard” and perform this silly little ritual of giving a big ol cheers to whatever fresh new hell is coming next
