No new calendar until after May 25, 2525 - will happily deal with US date format that day

I try not to look to the future.
I prefer to be positive!
Just no life there.

I’ve had this thought before. Like it’s really depressing that we experience the same months and same days over and over again, even though calendars are purely arbitrary. I like year notation tho. 2019 CE will be entirely unique.

I don’t think this is a calendar problem. If we considered a measuring tape with equal intensity, we’d feel the same way. Measurement is boring and meticulously redundant, like it should be. What we’re measuring, and why, is how existence gets its flair.
