January is the month where the streets are crowded with people exercising, the gym has plenty of new faces and for me, today, sharing a swimming pool lane with four other people was a negotiation I was unprepared for.

Are you back at work for the year?

Summer vacation is now down to its last hours.

I camped. Got sunburnt. Ate whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. Had no schedule. Had long dinners with countless laughter. Slept in. Went on a couple of roadtrips. And made a lot of delicious food.

Summer, there really is no better season.

And with that a new day marks a different year.

The number at the end of the date has added a number for us to remember when filling things out.

And people everywhere talk about how they’ll change their lives.

My new year was quiet, I sat on the beach with fireworks all around and looked out into the horizon considering how the tide doesn’t care about all that.
