i love love this post. it's so profound and is exactly the reflection of my expectations for new year – it's all anxiety and hidden jitters, really.
"2023, you scare me to the bone, please be kinder then you ought to be." - how i wish i can hold on to this hope. a part of me wants to think like that, but another part of me is saying i cannot let my guard down by hoping. life as a nihilistic pessimist is too much of a push vs pull moment every time lol
anyway... happy new year, ines. hope you had a good celebration (if you did celebrate).
"Let the fear be the sign that we’ve never been as alive as we are right now." i love this! in recent years, fear has been something that tortured me, almost tore me down. fear of changes, fear of never doing "enough" for myself, fear of this and that. with this, i feel like i can comfort myself. you are feeling it all because you are alive, and its okay to fear. thank you ines :)
