always good to have friends who are at least 5 years older than you and friends who are at least 5 years younger than you. being the youngest person you know will make you feel like an inexperienced child who knows nothing of the world. being the oldest person you know will make you feel like the joker.

as we enter 2026, another thing to keep in mind is that you should mistrust anyone or any org that argues that it is immoral to seek out joy or to feel joy or to think there’s anything worth being happy about in this life. hopelessness is not action, and you’re a person who’s allowed to feel many emotions even if there is injustice in the world. to be told you’re wrong to have hope or feel good about anything happening, or that nuance is not allowed, that is someone trying to radicalize you. they have an agenda and you are just a convenient, useful piece to their plan. be no one’s playing piece.
