Now, a "new year" is nothing but a change of calendar to me. It's a reset, it changes from December back to January again. Like being stuck in an endeless loop...
Sure, I still kind of "celebrate" Christmas and New Year for the sake of fulfilling a "social obligation", but I don't really "feel" it, I kind of lost the joy for it.
I believe that if changes are to come, they'll come any day of whatever year. If we must do something, we should do something between now and the 31st of December... not wait until the year after. I want changes now, next year may be too late.
Please note: I'm not lecturing anyone and I'm no Mr. Know It All, it's just the way I think.

i always took the view, why celebrate 2016, the start of a new year.
that's like celebrating the start of a new month, oh.. let's get all excited- it's not april anymore, it's may, or celebrate the start of the new day.. oh, well that's friday over with, let's get some fireworks out and set the sky alight- it's saturday, woooo!. everyone celebrate!.
i still always watch the countdown though. i watch it because i can't sleep, and it gives me something to watch. nothing to do with the fact that it'a new year, like you i've given up being hopeful.
i hear the same crap every year.. happy new year, may this new year bring you joy...
P.S, sorry for the post
but yeah it's how i feel
