It was cold. The last night of December before the new year. Everyone was celebrating save for Cherry, who was feeling very down on herself. Eventually out walked Zardo. "Child. Why are you not inside celebrating? A new year is about to begin." Cherry looked at Zardo with tears in her eyes. "Yeah, good riddance right? This year can go suck a fat crunchy turd for all I care!"
The eight foot tall drogon raised an eyebrow in bewilderment. "Your choice of profanity conflicts with your emotions. Why are you sad?" "Isn't it obvious?" Cherry sarcastically quipped while tears continued to run down her cheeks. "This was the year of the rabbit, right? MY year! I'm a rabbit! But like..." She stopped to wipe her eyes and compose herself. "This whole year has been nothing but a big fat misery train! People getting sick left and right, Assholes stalking people for petty bullshit, suits gouging away at everyone's money, loved ones dying...I just feel like it's all my fault this is happening!"
Without hesitation, Zardo thrusted his spear into the sidewalk. This startled Cherry even if she was a safe enough distance. After getting her attention, Zardo proceeded to take a seat beside the rabbit and began to speak...
"Your guilt is misplaced child. These incidents you describe, were you present for any of them?"
"Well...no?" Cherry responded as her tears finally dried up.
"Then how can any of it be your fault?" Zardo asks raising a valid point. "You are a rabbit yes, but you do not represent the year of rabbits, let alone this year in particular. Unfortunate events happen for a number of reasons. To blame them all on one person that has no control over any of it...is silly!"
After a brief silence, Cherry starts to snicker. Her snickers then turned to giggles. Finally her giggles gave way to uproarious laughter. "Did you seriously just say 'silly' with a straight face? I can't bestie! I just can't!" Zardo didn't say a word. He simply smiled knowing his young friend was feeling much better. Just then they overheard the party inside the bar going silent. The countdown to midnight had begun. It was at this instant that Cherry stood up and wrapped her arms around Zardo's neck in a platonic hug. "Thanks Zardo. Happy new year." Zardo did his usual grunt and patted the rabbit's head in response. "Hrm...Happy new year little one."
Just a little piece I felt like writing to sum up my feelings on 2023 before it ends. It's been a rough year for me, but I don't hold anyone responsible or accountable for all the bad luck that's happened. All I can do is hope 2024 is better and resolve to get as much work done with as minimal complications as possible to impede me. Happy new year to all of my watchers too. You all are great.
