There are no resolutions here.

Posted on January 6, 2015

It’s a new year. How you take that and how you handle it is up to you. After all, it’s really just a ticking clock that’s timed over…and, really, that whole system is artificial too. Wanna start a new year? Cool. Do it. If not, don’t. Remember – it was us humans who made the concept of time a reality, so stick to it. Time is our very own cross to bear.

But there are no resolutions here. There are only commitments. In my head, I had five, right now. I suspect they will change as the artificial ticking over of an arbitrary concept progresses along the calendar that many people cannot agree on. They are:

1. Don’t let my own fears define my choices.
2. If I want to do something/work with someone, ask. I have a shyness issue I need to get past in this department.
3. Adopt a rescue animal (done) – if you follow me on social media, you know this already.
4. Stop thinking you have to do everything right now. This is a tough one for me, but I need to get over my own panic instinct.
5. Have fun.

Number 5 is important. I need that. A lot. I need to find more fun in my day, and stop thinking I need to martyr my way to happiness and fulfilment.

  1. No. 1 is a beautiful thing – and it is on my vision board (the thing that replaces my resolutions list)
    No. 2 – yes. I agree. And no more awkward situations because I don’t want someone to take a dislike to me if I don’t agree with them.
    No. 3. I love Jake. He is amazing and we’re OK with the fact that your social media stream is now exclusively ‘rescue puppy’. I myself have adopted a sunset. It requires little feeding, less water and only the occasional walk on the beach.
    4. I’ll get back to you on this point just as soon as I am finished with…oh yes. Yes. OK, I see what you’re saying.
    5. More fun doing more human things – yes, I agree to this.
