In the quiet corners of our homes, we often find ourselves alone when it comes to sharing stories or catching up over Christmas. But what truly makes us feel isolated is the quietness of this year's New Year. As we gather around the clock and drink warm tea, the sweet fragrances of my grandmother's home begin to float into my mouth.
The Chinese saying "tongues alive" means that even when things are still together, everyone can find a place in the company of friends. But sometimes, people just don't feel like being in company, and we miss each other's company. It might be as simple as sharing stories over the holidays or talking about plans in the living room.
In New Year's Eve, when it's still snowing outside and everyone is waiting for a moment to eat, we can feel the weight of our responsibilities upon us. But that doesn't mean we're done; it just means we need to take care of ourselves first. We've worked hard all year—even though some days are hard—and now we're looking forward to a better future together.
For me, this New Year is a time to reflect on the things that matter most. Whether it's our family coming together for dinner, or our friends visiting us over holidays, it's about making a mess and cleaning it up at the end of the day. The messy days are okay—just like Christmas in November when everyone shares stories without worrying about who will make the biggest impact.
As we sit around the fire in the quiet corner of our house, it's easy to forget that this New Year is just another time when people gather together for a warm drink or talk about plans. But even in these quiet corners, there's still the weight of responsibilities and obligations.
The saying "no matter what, we'll make it right" means that no matter how things go wrong on any day, they can all be fixed if you're willing to try. It doesn't mean we're done—just like Christmas in November when everyone shares stories without worrying about whose story will dominate the holidays.
In New Year's Eve, we've worked hard all year—all the days of school and the weekends I spent with friends—and now it's time to take stock of our progress so far. We've celebrated birthdays together, shared meals at home, and talked about things that matter in this moment.
For me, it's important to make a mess and clean it up—both for us and for those around us. Whether we're hanging out at the end of the day or sitting by the fire in the quiet corner, each of us is responsible for contributing something meaningful today.
The New Year's Eve that I will never forget, everyone gathered together to celebrate our shared memories. It was a time when we all sang songs, shared laughter, and laughed as hard as possible. Even though some days were hard and didn't feel right at first, they just meant that it wasn't over yet—just like Christmas in November when everyone's stories would be revisited at the end of the holidays.
For me, this New Year is about making a mess and cleaning it up—the messy stuff from school or the chaos from our homes that we all try to get back into order. It doesn't mean we're done—just like Christmas in November when everyone's stories would be revisited at the end of the holidays.
