Happy New Year!
You've probably heard the expression, "May you live in interesting times." Although often uttered as a benediction, it's said to be a translation of a curse: "interesting" is, according to this story, is a euphemism for "difficult." Others have claimed that it was always meant to be said ironically: The wisher wants the recipient to live in peaceful, i.e., boring, times.
Perhaps more important whether than wanting someone else, or one's self, to live in interesting, boring, peaceful, tumultuous, or whatever kind, of times is how different you want 2023 to be from 2022.
