The fascination of changing numbers

There is a fascination in seeing numbers change, especially if there is something symmetrical and whole about the numbers. 20 years ago, the numbers changed from 1999 to 2000, now it's 2019 to 2020.

It doesn't matter than in reality the date 1.1. is just randomly chosen, and there isn't really anything specific about it. Our spirits react to the beginning of a circle anyway.

So, New Year's Eve is a magical space.

I love counting to midnight. I love the silence and expectation rising, the explosion of fireworks and streamers and confetti and kisses and noise at the zero.
