So, it's 2012. That's different.
The main topic of conversation this week is "New Year's
Resolutions". I don't have any. Everyone is tweeting and blogging about
how they plan to change their life for the better; not me. I just don't feel
the urge to this year for some reason. 2011 wasn't a great year for me
really. There were many losses of friends and people my own age within the
last 4-5 months of the year which hugely shocked everyone and often had me
reflecting on my own life. I was out for New Years Even this year and when
the clock struck 12 I was overwhelmed with emotion and burst into tears while
James gave me the midnight kiss. Instead of the future I was a bit stuck
thinking about the past. I've explained before that
I am a thinker and this
will never change. That's what spurred me to write this slightly angered post
entitled "Is
your life THAT bad?"
Instead of making a "resolution" I'm just going
to take life day by day. Perhaps make do-able daily resolutions; like today I
want to smile more, today I want to clear out my room, today I'm going to
organise my diary; rather that making one huge, often generic "plan".
I figure it will be much more possible to do more things day by day, plus I've
less of a chance of "failing" (lots of inverted commas in this post
eh!!?). I suppose I'm contradicting myself by saying I don't have a New Years
Resolution because basically I do and it's to not have one/take life day by
day!
