Every year is the same, but somehow December feels special.

Maybe it’s because the end of 2025 and the preparations for the start of 2026 overlap.

Of course, it’s not like I only started getting ready this month.
For example, it’s normal to fight through 2026 while already thinking about 2027.

I’m sure everyone has their own things going on.
But one thing is certain—
the new year is almost here.

Let’s both do our best!

They’re soothing.
