1943 has come and gone. Anais Nin is celebrating New Year's Eve in Harlem. Good music, dancing, no alcohol allowed at the Savoy Ballroom nor necessary because the people don't need it to feel alive and expressive.
Anais reflects on herself and how she wants to be wise, evolved, an ideal person, and of course, this is difficult for any person as we all face anger, jealousy, selfishness, irresponsibility. She seems to be particularly hard on herself, her imagination working against her, the lack of sales from her books and continued economic pressures result in feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, frustration, defeat.
