Another day, another year.

It has never mattered any less if anyone remembers, who remembers and who doesn't.

By force of habit and the indoctrination with cakes and gifts that we are led to believe such is worthy of celebration.

So much effort and planning have gone into ensuring smoother sailing and a less bumpy road ahead, but the ship is sinking. The mind is inevitably filled with "what ifs" and "could haves" that drag down any uplifts in spirit.

A wonderful year ahead? I have many doubts.
