Surviving January: Cioran, Erosion and Social Absurdities.

January is not a victory, it’s endurance.

In this video, I reflect on surviving January through the lens of Emil Cioran, exploring attrition, fatigue, and the quiet violence of everyday social absurdities. After the rituals end and the year officially begins, we are expected to return to productivity while nature calls for rest and reflection.

This is my winter note on exhaustion, lucidity, and continuing despite disillusion.

How are you surviving this month? I’d love to hear your experience.

Thank you for watching.
