Just like a lot of people are rushing to get things finished before that clock strike midnight, I know some of you are bound to be in the same mindset. I'm here to remind you that the "symbolism" of CTBing in 2025 or at midnight is not worth risking the potential peacefulness, painlessness, and reliability of your method.
DO NOT spend so much time trying to get things ready that you end up misjudging a height to jump/hang from, or the caliber/aim of a gun, or lord forbid just down a bottle or two of pills. Nothing will change if you take a few days into 2026 to make sure you don't end up paralyzed, or with severe organ/nerve/tendon/brain damage.
This is your sign that it's okay to wait. The symbolism will mean fuck all if you end up stuck in a stuffy hospital hooked up to machines to breathe because you punctured both your lungs by jumping from too low a height and just breaking your ribcage.
Here's your permission to rest, and let yourself think before making a hasty decision.
You'll be okay. 2026 is another year, tomorrow is another day.
