Can you smell that? The scent of a fresh decade is unique, like smelling a newborn's soft skin or the smell of rain. Both of these scents do something to us, giving us a chemical boost in the brain.

The idea of a new decade seems to be doing something similar to us—tickling the brain. I have spent the last month reading social media and listening to people. The energy is undeniable: 2020 is apparently going to be a Big Year.
