🥸 APRIL FOOLS… but the real joke? Our entire calendar.
You’ve been told the year starts in January.
But what if that’s not the full story?
🌱 For centuries, many cultures considered spring—specifically April—to mark the real beginning of the year.
It made sense: nature was waking up, days were getting longer, and new life was all around.
📜 Some ancient civilizations, including early lunar-based societies, even followed a 13-month calendar—with each month made up of 28 days, aligned with the moon's cycle.
Was it perfect? Probably not.
But it was grounded in something we often forget to consider: natural time.
Today’s Gregorian calendar—with its uneven months, leap years, and politically named months, was designed more for order and power than personal wellbeing.
So maybe… just maybe… April is the reset we were meant to follow all along.
