I have been staring out of my window for the past 30mins, watching people having fun with firecrackers, lighting them up and squealing with excitement as their rockets explode with a starburst effect. Even the little kids are holding the sparklers in their hands yelling ‘Hey guete pou moi!’ (which means ‘Hey look at mine!’)
I feel oddly detached from it all, detached from this world.
It’s still 23:14. In slightly less than one hour everyone(or rather, almost everyone) will let off their firecrackers, (more noise and air pollution… ) welcoming the new year. Sure, I liked firecrackers when I was a kid but not anymore. Now I’m only a spectator.
New Year’s resolution?None.
Happy New Year everyone!
