I agree that the new year can bring a feeling of freshness and excitement, but I also understand what you mean about not liking the timeline that makes last year's events feel further away. It can be tough to think about things that happened in the past, especially if they were significant or had a strong emotional impact. On the other hand, reflecting on the events of the past can also be a useful way to learn and grow, and to appreciate the progress that has been made. Ultimately, it's important to focus on the present moment and make the most of the opportunities that come our way, while also taking the time to reflect on the past and learn from it.
