I stopped stressing about whether the new year would be good or bad when I realized that dates and times are just metrics for duration. The good and bad things carry forward past these arbitrary dividing lines. 🏁

I try not to put too much emphasis on the "new year" being better than prior year. I try to focus on self-improvement, caring for me and mine, and supporting my friends when they go through rough times. 🫡

The protests in Iran started as economic. Now they're chanting "Death to Khomeini!", "Long live the Shah!", & "It's the final battle, the Pahlavi will return!".
