i feel kinda iffy about posts that insist a year is going to be fantastic - and ive seen it the past few new years, too, not just this one - just because a year is such an arbitrary stretch of time? like just because the date rolls over doesnt mean the slate gets wiped clean, the stuff that happened yesterday still happened yesterday and we still have to face their consequences. 2018 isnt going to be a great year, or a terrible year, or anything that can be described in such broad terms because it’s going to be a lot of different things, for a lot of different people. it is, as the saying goes, just one damn thing after another
