You know, I spent more time trying to come up with an interesting introduction for this blog than I did thinking about my resolutions this year. Quite unusual really; that 1. I actually care about my writing style (writing's just not my thing) and 2. I didn't come up with a resolution this year.
My family is really big on New Year's Resolutions. We all gather around our kitchen table every January 1st with a pen and a pad of paper, waiting to discuss and then document the goals that we set for each year. It gets more complicated than that- you have to come up with a goal for each of the set categories (Family, School, Health, Fitness, etc.). Then we all participate in the truly heart-warming moment of mulling over what we don't like about ourselves and how we should work to change that. And these "resolutions" tend to last all of five minutes anyways.
So this year, I resolve not to make any resolutions. To distance myself from self-analysis. To go on with my everyday life not fretting over what goals I've met and which I haven't.
Oh my, quite a paradox I've presented. Well, instead, what I mean to say is that I'm going to try to not worry anymore. To not worry about goal-making and furthermore to not worry about not worrying, because if I'm fretting over the goal of not setting any goals then what good am I really doing?
Maybe I'll just resolve to write normal blogs.
