Wishes for 2022 | The Journal of Montreal

There are only a few days left in the year 2021. Does 2022 make you dream or do you dread this new year?

During these days between Christmas and New Years, I can’t help but imagine what the New Year will be like and hope for better. Here are my wishes for the coming year:

  • I hope that mental health is put in the foreground and that we have all the psychological support resources necessary to alleviate the human suffering experienced during the pandemic and before. Why not include a mental health course in primary and secondary schools, in order to better equip young people?
  • I want our governments to take important and meaningful decisions to protect our environment. It is high time that we take the bull by the horns in order to hope to offer a bright future to the younger generations. They are entitled to it.
  • I want Quebec women to be safe, everywhere, all the time.
  • I hope that we continue to denounce the unacceptable, that the word is freed more and more.
  • I want our health care system to be … healthy! I hope that nurses, doctors, orderlies and all those who contribute to the health of the population can finally have a little respite.
  • And finally, I want us to learn to let go. Do you really know what that means? I’ll give you my definition: it’s to stop clinging to what you can’t change. I wish us for the New Year to let go of the “before”, because life will never be the same again. It will be as it will be and we will live it “during”. And the counterpart is now!

And you, what are your wishes for 2022?
