我们总以为改变要从明天开始，但真正的转变，往往发生在一个平凡的当下。这篇文章谈谈希望、拖延，以及为什么新的开始不一定要等到凌晨12点。

有些人放不下的，不是某个人。
而是那个“本来以为会发生的人生”。

Can ChatGPT be your therapist? As a counsellor in Singapore, I reflect on the growing habit of turning to AI for emotional support, and why answers alone don’t heal loneliness, grief, heartbreak, or the deeper need to be truly seen.

Grief doesn’t always arrive through absence. Sometimes it appears in continuity, in routines, memories, and ordinary moments that remain unchanged. A therapist reflects on how grief shows up quietly at the start of a new year, and why feeling weighted doesn’t mean something is wrong.

As the year ends, reflection is often encouraged. But what happens when we overthink our lives instead of living them? I reflect on year-end introspection, creativity, grief, and why stepping away can sometimes bring the clearest insight.
