The Year of the Brain. A letter to the New Year.
Dear New Year,
We finally meet! This meeting has been hard-won. The last year did its darndest to keep us apart. From an extended hospital stay, with my one year old baby in the midst of a global pandemic to a news cycle dominated by social injustice and people who looked like me getting killed in the streets or even in their homes; I was justly unsure. Some of my loved ones and loved ones of my friends, sadly, will never meet you as yesteryear has stolen them from us; along with 3.2 million others. What a ghastly number to see in black and white!
