December arrives like a pushy aunt insisting you need to “finish strong,” as if you haven’t already carried the emotional weight of twelve moons and three idiots.
Let us be completely clear:
You are Not here to sprint to the finish line.
You are here to rise — Phoenix-style.
1. Drop the Whole ‘Finish Strong’ Nonsense
Finish alive.
Finish hydrated.
Finish without cussing anyone out (although, I personally feel this one is optional 😉 )
And that is plenty strong.
2. Burn the Old Stuff — Metaphorically
No. There is no need to involve the fire department — again!
Write what you’re done with,
and release it like it owes you rent. If you are not comfortable burning it, tearing it up into tiny pieces is good enough (maybe not as satisfying, but good enough).
3. Honour the Darkness
It’s not here to swallow you.
It’s here to reset you.
Rise slowly.
Rise wisely.
Rise because you choose to.
