This is a small connection. You are the person eavesdropping on a snippet of conversation that perks your interest or makes you smile, and I am the noisy talker not thinking much about who may be listening, but making a micro impression on someone I'll never know. Most arent listening. But you did.

-You dont love me. You love your phone.-
*Thats not true. I love you. Im addicted to my phone.*
-Same difference.-
*No, I hate my phone. But I am addicted to it. I love you, but I am captured by something else.*

Shit.

One day positive and full of determination, the next day a furiously spilling all your frustrations to a wall. At least you know it comes and goes in waves.

If we had no distinct seasons, or a distinct way to measure a passing year, how would we tell age? Not by days. We'd lose track. Maybe age would be insignificant. Or maybe a "year" would be 100 days. Maybe we'd measure by events. "I was born before the great flood but after the beloved leader died"

Happy New Year all! My new years resolution is to make monthly resolutions instead of a whole year. Wish me luck. Best of luck to you in whatever you want 2026 to bring you.

Remember, we can only do so much at once - make so many changes, do so many chores, right so many wrongs, finish so many work tasks, acheive so many goals, hold so much information in our head...

I find it more helpful to focus on what I'm actively accomplishing rather than whats left to accomplish

Sad thing about corporate office life: in prime hours of the morning, when the air is fresh, the sun is rising anf the birds are waking, we're running around trying to find our keys and get out the door instead of experiencing the simple joys of nature...

Of course Im biased as a morning person.
