I've spend many holidays alone at this point. Even last Christmas.
For New Years I usually try to get to the city, and walk around for a couple of hours enjoying the chaos around. You might bump into some random people, which could lead to who knows what?
Depending on how fast you’re going when you bump into random people, it could lead to nuclear fusion.
Either A. Take the time to write down your experiences from the past year, hurdles you've encountered, what you've achieved, what you want to accomplish in the coming year, and what you need to do to get there. Really dive into it and try to set the tone for a good start to 2024.
Or B. Get really fucked up on your intoxicant of choice.
If you like videos games you could do that
Do you game on xbox by any chance? I’m spending this NYE alone because I’m generally a hermit/loser. So I’m probably gonna smoke weed like chimney and play battlefield 2042, must like I do most nights.
You could join in, if you’d like.
I’ve considered going out alone, trying to meet some people. But it’s just so sad.
Last year I started my adventure into homelab, Linux, open source and it led to other technical hobbies. Started by repurposing an old PC into a server.
This year I think I'm taking up music recording
I treat it like any other day and ignore all events focused on relationships, but I'm partially disabled and unable to do anything social. Just do whatever you find interesting in life and ignore the "celebration" the memory will fade into the background like all the other days and you won't have depressive repercussions due to self reflection.
There's usually a bunch of new years events like at a bar, concert venue, or restaurant you can go to and just hangout
I fucking love celebrating that day alone. It never made any sense to me celebrating a calendar change and all the build up to nothing actually happening. The first year I spent it alone I had been the sober driver and took a friend home early and happened to still be on the old dirt road heading back to the party when midnight hit and it was so peaceful. So up until I had a family of my own I spent every new years alone on a hike or working on a project alone or with a close friend, woke up feeling better.
Did it more than once and it wasn't bad at all. Get some food you like, some nice movies/games, a stroll around the city to see people going crazy at midnight maybe, maybe a drink at the bar and then to sleep as soon as you're tired without having to stay awake to make other people happy.. I enjoyed it when it happened..
Bejba, that's kajnda krejza (reference to the Polish entry of Eurovision 2023)
I am taking the metro train to downtown with my bike. I will ride around a little, stay for the fireworks, and then take it back home. Easy enough. You are obviously going through something so don't make being alone on new years eve too significant. Stuff happens, and hopefully you come out of this stronger.
Usually I spend my new year either at stormwind or ogrimmar (wow) ;)
Make your favorite food for dinner. Snack on your favorite comfort food. Play video games or watch a favorite movie. The key is to pamper yourself.
Get yourself a sixer, kick your feet up and do whatever the fuck you want!
So what are you doing finally?
Yyygggyggggg gggggyggyyygy and gggu
I made an edit in the post disclosing it.
Winter is warm this year, maybe a good way to celebrate is to visit your surroundings a little in reflection.
Please know that it is ok to be alone on special days. Don't feel sad. It's just another day.
Get an early night, start the new year fresh.
A lot of champagne I guess
