With the beginning of the New Year, we once again punctually hear in conversations the stereotyped new resolutions and desires to finally become the perfect beings we aspire to and promise but never achieve.
We live in a society that lives anesthetized by the opium of an imposed panacea of impossible standards, lunatic expectations and the terror of other people's opinions (and above all envious ones) because the majority of "anyone" has discovered the free nature of letting off steam (not at the psychologist) but by losing all elegance and composure, handing out the first thoughtless insult that comes to their poorly read head.
Fast and cheap fashions, social clichés, the desire to be the protagonist and other baseness constitute the new and decadent "tyranny of the masses."
F. Scott Fitzgerald in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button wrote something that has become my leitmotiv for 2025:
"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." F. Scott Fitzgerald
And of course and mainly:
Crochet, crochet and more crochet, without paying attention to trends, rules, or impositions. Cultivating a healthy hedonism, full desire to enjoy nothing more.
Without further ado, and leaving you with the crocheting attempts that begin this year, I say goodbye until next time, my dear reader, hoping that in 2025 you live a life that you are proud of and if not, that you knit and knit so that you have the strength to start again.
