Why is it that the New Year's kiss is the one we attach so much importance to? Perhaps more than we think. It's not just a kiss. It's a ritual, magic, and, if we're honest, a bit of a game of fate.
The kiss that stops the world
Imagine – everyone is counting down, adrenaline is building as the seconds count down, and it seems like the whole world is breathing together. Then… a kiss. All the noisy fireworks, music, and crowds suddenly fade away. Time stops. This moment belongs only to you. But why is this kiss so special?
It's about more than just lip contact. It is a promise. To yourself and to someone else. It's like an invisible vow that the coming year will not just be something you survive, but something you truly experience. A New Year's kiss is like a reset button - a little dramatic, perhaps, but absolutely magical.
No kiss? Don't panic!
You might be thinking, “What if I overslept at midnight or didn’t have anyone to kiss?” Relax – a New Year’s kiss isn’t some magical talisman that will make your year a disaster without it. It really all depends on how you look at the moment. If you were with family, friends, or simply raised a glass to a new beginning, that’s your moment. The kiss is just a symbol.
Why midnight?
The New Year is a time of great promise. We humans are creatures who need a clear beginning and an end to feel like we have things under control. Midnight is the border – the old world behind us, the new one ahead of us. And we seal this moment with a kiss, because there is no better way to show: “This year I will love, dream and simply be me!”
But it's also a test of spontaneity. You know, those moments when the heart overtakes the mind. When you look at someone and you know – this is it. Nothing planned, nothing forced. Just reality.
A kiss like your mirror
Isn't it interesting how a kiss always reflects where we are in life? If you're happy, you'll kiss with all your heart. If you're a little confused, the kiss will be more awkward. If you're brave, this moment will come naturally to you. A New Year's kiss isn't something you "earn." It's something you allow yourself.
Maybe you're alone. And then what? The New Year doesn't need another person to be magical. It can be a kiss to yourself, to your life, or a promise to finally live the life you've always wanted.
How to capture the moment?
There's no recipe for the perfect New Year's kiss. But you know what works? Authenticity. Leave expectations at the door. Let what must happen happen, with whoever. And if there's no one? Kiss the New Year with a smile, a glass, or a brave step into the unknown.
Enchanted moment
A New Year's kiss is exactly what you want it to be. A myth, a truth, a promise, or a fun game. It's up to you. Even if you don't believe in symbols, sometimes it's nice to create one just for yourself. If you haven't experienced one this year, wait - it might be waiting for you at some other, unpredictable hour. And that's even nicer.
