I feel you. I await the New Year with dread as well as a dead feeling inside. Although I'm happy to see 2024 end, I don't feel like celebrating what I believe will be an even worse 2025.

Yeah… I’ve written and erased my answer here three times and can’t get past just writing “yeah…”

Thanks for your weekly thoughts and insights. I feel badly that you believe 2024 sucked so much. Based on your writing, you seem to have a close knit family and friend groups. Lean into these positives on you life in 2025 and to what you can \ want to make the change that you value. Start from a positive perspective and perpetuate it.

It really is a point of exhaustion. I think the consequence of being so plugged in to the world around me (by choice and due to work) is that the static and noise wears you you out quickly. I’m not optimistic about 2025 and hope that I’m proven wrong.
