When I asked for the year to not change, a tale

 

I finished the letter and sent, via email. My guess was:

NewYear@universe.time

 

With total certainty, I was sure the email would reach its destination and my request was very simple…

YEAR, DON’T CHANGE!

 

I have been tired of so many changes… When I was young, the worse of a year changing was to avoid writing the wrong year in a check or a letter. But, nowadays…

There will be a new president somewhere who is probably going to change many things. Besides, AI is evolving… And the economy… Society… My friends and family… Me…

YEAR, DON’T CHANGE!

I want everything as it is right now… NO CHANGES, PLEASE!

 

And yet, I know…

… Well, the email bounced back.

… Things will change anyway…

So, what to do?

Maybe… maybe if I change, other changes won’t affect me that much. OK, I am still hopeful things may not change so dramatically, but I want to try this…

 

I want to try to change myself. Would you like to be my friend in this?
