Illustration by Simon Bailly and Sepia Illustration Every January, we look ahead to a new year, eyes wide with hope. We declare that this time, “things will be different”. We’ll get new opportunities, new experiences and, most importantly, a new version of ourselves. We tell ourselves that for this “new you” to stick around, we must surround ourselves with newness.
