I suppose it's time for me to say something like "WOW, I can't believe another year has already passed, they just keep coming faster and faster."
But I've honestly never thought that was a good mindset to have. When I think of all I've done in this year, like actually think of different events that I've done throughout the year, or rather think of world events that occurred in the year, it's hard for me to not realize how long a year it's been.
For the record I'm not saying "Long" as in bad. There were some shitty things that happened during this year, like their always is, but for the most part 2024 was another alright one for me.
I think it's a bad mindset to always view a year as being short, the way I see if if you always say stuff like "Time goes by fast" the more likely it is that that will be true for you.
I like to say instead, Time moves at it's own pace. No need to have the mindset of viewing time as some express-train that I'm always late for.
I suppose I'm just rambling at this point. As I'm typing this the neighbors just set their fireworks off for the birth of 2025. May 2025 being a good, or at least a tolerable, year for ya'
God bless ya', stay safe, and don't view time as some imposing thing.
