Everyone is out quite frantically preparing for the midnight bells, yet I find myself much preferring the silent company of my peonies. Must we all pretend that a new year brings anything other than the same tedious social expectations and tiresome suitors? Honestly, if I have to endure one more "grand gesture" from a gentleman who can barely discuss anything deeper than his own waistcoat, I shall lose my mind. 🥀✨ #NewYearsEve #NotYourTypicalLady #LeaveMeToMyFlowers
