happy new year, but where’s the real celebration?
Last night, I was scrolling through my phone and saw a bunch of New Year’s posts—fireworks, fancy dinners, and people all dressed up. It made me think of how we used to celebrate back in the day. Remember when New Year’s meant gathering with family, playing cards, and maybe sneaking a glass of champagne at midnight? Now, it feels like everyone’s just posting for the likes.
We tried to find a nice spot for dinner, but every place was either packed or had a “special menu” that cost twice as much as usual. We ended up eating leftovers at home, watching the ball drop on TV. Honestly, it felt a bit lonely, even though we were together.
Does anyone else feel like the spirit of New Year’s has changed? Where do you go to actually feel that old excitement? Have you found a place that still does things the old-fashioned way, or is it all just for show now? I miss the warmth and real connection. Maybe I’m just getting nostalgic, but it’s hard not to compare.
