My not-New-Year pledge is to let myself be bored more. As Kaleb Horton said, "It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings."

I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like dedicated your life to writing some of the most incredibly written articles in the history of the internet, only to then be told that you no longer have a job because the publication you used to work for got sold off to a soulless hedge fund.
