It's hard for me to sleep every night, my hands and feet get numb. When I close my eyes it's hard for me to breathe. The thought of death scares me knowing it can happen any second. I realized this after you left many of us. Umer your smile, your personality left a place in many close ones along with many recent friends. You were a gem of a person one of a kind. They say, God only chooses to call the good people so early. Who knew you would leave us too soon. I remember each and every detail as it terrifies me still till this day. Words cannot express the devastating news. I wish I could go back in time and only if I had known if you had just told me the truth I would've tried to help you. After that night I did not hear back from you until the next morning when I got a call which took the world from under my feet. It took me a second to figure out what happened because it was a moment of denial. I remember rushing to the hospital seeing you in pain unable to speak, unable to see and just being rushed to the ICU. The hallway filled with people trying to call around for blood donations. Hours passed, and just waiting in that hallway was a nightmare itself. My friends who had just met you days before showed up along with many others heart you stole. It was all starting to feel unreal. Waiting to hear the good news that you will be okay and come back out on your feet smiling. But who knew you would give up on us. Staying by your side every second of each hour that passed praying for your soul to come back. The hallway was now filled with countless people just waiting to see you again waiting to see you fight. You were one hell of a strong champ to fight through it for so long. We all believed you would be okay hoping someone's prayer would be heard. I came to visit you and you seemed to give me some hope but who knew the moment I left I would receive a text an hour later telling me that you were gone. You just left us, all we are left with are pictures and memories with you. You were such an amazing son, brother, and friend not only to me but to countless people. I know you are in a good and better place. I just wish you were still hear it was too soon.....

Run Around Clanging Pots and Pans in Everyone's Face

Eat the Last Few Pigs in a Blanket
StableDiffusionIt's been sitting there since what, 8:00? You snooze you lose, and besides, no one's paying attention to you anyway.
Pop Twelve White Grapes
StableDiffusionIf you were in Spain, everyone would be doing just this. One grape for every month of the year. It's supposed to be lucky and stuff.
Burn Something
Photo by Ian Schneider on UnsplashIt's really not that odd-- families in Ecuador burn scarecrows every year on New Year's Eve. It's a symbol of diminishing the negativity of last year. Perhaps preform this one outside though, just to be safe of course.
Smash Things Against a Wall
Photo by Lidye on UnsplashWe can thank the Irish for this bright idea, they use bread specifically though. Who knows why this is a tradition, but it certainly seems like it could be incredibly soothing, don't you think?

Call Your Mother

Throw a Coffee Table Out a Window
Photo by Kinga Howard on UnsplashAccording to South African tradition, it doesn't necessarily have to be a coffee table. It could be a futon, an ottoman, an armoire, really any piece of furniture that's old. It's for luck of course.
Sing "Auld Lang Syne" at the Top of Your Lungs
Photo by Chang Duong on UnsplashChannel your inner Beyonce, or Mariah, or whoever your Pop Star Diva Queen is and belt that tune. It'll be fantastic mood music.
Do Some Squats
Photo by Meghan Holmes on UnsplashMay as well start the New Year off by working on your inevitable resolution to drop some pounds. Why waste a single moment, you're likely forget the resolution by February anyway.
Swan Dive into a Nearly Freezing Body of Water
Photo by Brayden Prato on UnsplashAnother foreign tradition, this one is practiced by Germans. The kick of it is, you've got to do it while holding a lit torch. Again, who knows why this is a tradition, but its certainly sounds like a fun little challenge to ring in the New Year.
Take a Shot
Photo by Duri from Mocup on UnsplashAnd by shot, naturally I mean a snapshot. Perhaps a group photo, a selfie, or even an unfortunate snipe of your best friend. You'll feel loads better knowing you'll have something to always remember the first moments of 2025 by.
