Bidding Farewell to 2022

How are you really doing?

“Doing those deeply unfashionable things—slowing down, letting your spare time expand, getting enough sleep, resting—is a radical act now, but it is essential. This is a crossroads we all know, a moment when you need to shed a skin.”

- Katherine May, Wintering

My Instagram feed seems to be filled with a mix of people who are very passionate about leaving the Christmas tree up another week, and others who are very passionate about ushering in a fresh new year as swiftly as possible. I know there’s a middle ground, but from what I can see on social media, most people seem to be firmly on Team Sit And Relish The Twinkle Lights, or Team Vacuum Pine Needles Off The Floor ASAP. 

(I am also getting a bit of whiplash between pictures of baked goods and hacks for how to swap pasta for zucchini noodles. No one needs to guess which side I’m on.)
