I used to think that there was a curse associated with New Year’s Eve. At least, it seemed like I’d been cursed to always have a lousy one. No matter how close I’d get to having the fun night I’d anticipated, something always went wrong.

To anyone struggling with this whole colonizer holiday—what you’re feeling is completely valid.
If you’re neurodivergent, dealing with addiction, or navigating mental illness, you’re not alone. You don’t have to carry any of this by yourself.

I know what it’s like to feel different or to have different views, especially during times like these. It really matters that we show up for each other—now and always. And honestly, with the way things are under this administration, support matters even more.

So if you need to talk, vent, or just not feel alone, go ahead and comment. I’m here. I’m a good listener, and if you’d rather talk one-on-one, I can hop on Signal too.
