If you're familiar with literature, then you may be familiar with the 12 Stages of the Hero's Journey. Step five of the Hero’s Journey is often referred to as "Crossing the Threshold," or the point of no return. It signifies that the hero of the story has committed to the journey as they set off on their adventure.
"New Year's Day" is the thirty-fifth piece in this collection, inspired by the absolute anguish many feel after celebrating on New Year's Eve. Happy New Year!
