I’m not sure I want a reset

from Marchioness of Midnight Chaos & Sparks · host Midnight Marchioness

Lately, my feeds have been full of people talking about taking a day to reset and plan for 2026.I get the symbolism. I really do.But something about it doesn’t sit right with me. The idea that reflection only happens at the end of the year. That there’s a “right” way to reset. That if you don’t do it, you’re missing something.This isn’t an argument against planning or reflection. It’s just me thinking out loud about why this whole thing feels oddly performative, why some of us reset differently, and why not everything needs a clean slate to move forward.Just some late-night thoughts.
