New Years eve is a major marking of the passage of time. There is a lot of pressure to be social, have a party, go to a party, get wasted, kiss someone at midnight, make insane promises to yourself in the guise of “Resolutions”, and go a little nuts.

That’s a lot of pressure.

It’s a heavy drinking holiday, it’s the night of “auld lang syne” with all the sad ruminations on one’s past that come with that, and it’s the transition into a new year “365 days of a new book”.

That’s a lot of pressure.

Please be kind to yourself tonight.
Go out if you feel like it.
If you feel like staying in, then do so.

Don’t pressure yourself, it ain’t worth it.
Take care of you.
