      If you don’t enjoy the moments in those frames, don’t go to some overcrowded place. There are no moments in between.

      A lot of people enjoy it. I can’t understand them, so I stick to small crowds.

      Some people enjoy pay all of their money to play cards, too.

      And others pay money to gain cancer.

      Like imagine getting cancer treatment in a hospital and looking out the window and seeing someone smoking. Two people doing the exact opposite things.

        Some people pay money to enjoy their lives, and savour every moment, even if it means cutting the crap a little short.

        I don’t smoke, as the risk/reward isn’t worth it to me personally, but if it’s what it takes for others to be happy, all the power to em. Knock themselves out. Literally heh.

        I’d rather live 50-60yrs to their fullest, than live 80-90 mediocre years inside watching the latest Netflix crap or tv repeats (not to say there aren’t times when I enjoy it).

    My admittedly boring method:

    • stay home

    • do stuff, maybe video games

    • go to sleep whenever I feel like it

    • wake up at the normal time

      I’ve found that, at least for me, I need to do social things, amazing things, and ceremony around it is also fine. Otherwise, I lose track of time and dark thoughts happen.

      I encourage all to celebrate holidays or special events as much as you can, while you can. Every morning you wake up and can see and hear and smell and taste and feel and think. And if you’re short somewhere in that list, you probably already understand what I’m talking about. Life is short and a lot of people want yours to be shitty. Don’t let them win.

      That being said, if you like playing videogames, don’t let the people who don’t appreciate that to make you feel like that isn’t quality time.

      I used to stay up when I was younger just to witness the year changing, but now I’m old and just go to bed. It will be there in the morning.

    Hey introverts, if it’s just some friends getting together, go hang out with them. You’re not “an introvert” you’re introverted, you’re out of shape. Flex those muscles a little and force yourself to rebuild community.

    Community is what will save our future more than any amount of posting or tweeting or advocacy about whatever this week’s social issue is. Stop wearing your labels and excuses like a shield to keep yourself from doing the hard things.

    No, shut up. I don’t want to hear it. Do or do not, there is no try.

    Despite all the awfulness, it can be kinda nice to be amongst a lot of humans celebrating something.

    I mean, I’m not doing it, but it’s not all bad.

    I’m so glad that my partner and I just stay in and enjoy each other’s company with some drinks. Going out on NYE is absolutely god awful.

    I realized in my 20s that Nye is over hyped. I had a few years where I was underwhelmed with how my plans worked out and thus decided to just do small things and try to enjoy them but not have high hopes. It works really well

    I’m drinking a mango margarita and eating spaghetti. This was not a wise combination choice, yet here I am.
