Happy New Year! You made it to 2025.

Take a moment to breathe because that is no small feat.

I wish you all a very boring year.

I wish you a year without war, or genocides, or fascists, or crooked power-grabbing politicians, or severe weather from climate change, or anything even particularly shocking, disturbing, perturbing, annoying, or even mildly uncomfortable. This is what I wish for you for the entirety of 2025.

I want us all to gather here next year around the same time and say ‘gosh, 2025 was a bit of a nothing year, wasn’t it? Nothing really happened.’ That would be fantastic.

I want us all to be able to focus on our creativity, on our hobbies, on whatever brings us the most joy because our minds aren’t distracted by the next fresh horror that awaits us around the corner.

That’s my 2025 wish.

What’s yours?
