When it comes to New Year’s celebrations, what’s not to love? All the glitter, the cocktails, and sentimental self-reflection? IMO, that’s the perfect recipe for happiness. 2021 has been quite the journey, but now it’s time to take 2022 head-on (even though it looks/sounds like a year they’d use to reference ~the future~ in a sci-fi movie.) You’ve gotta ring in this new year the right way, and be sure to document en masse.
IDC if you’re grabbing ‘fit pics, fireworks pics, or cheeky boomerangs clinking glasses, memories must be made and proper attention must be given to crafting the perf caption! I’m not a scientist, but I feel like your New Year’s Eve caption is basically the public manifestation of the year that’s to come. So it’s gotta be good.
So as 2021 finally comes to a close, here are a bunch of New Year’s quotes (and caption ideas, hi) to inspire you to get that promotion, get rid of those toxic people in your life, actually hang up your clothes that have been piling in your room on The Chair, and start 2022 off on the right note. Are you ready to start thriving? Check out these quotes to kick it all off.
