"Resolutions..."

...ardly hever appen.

Come 1st January and everyone asks if I've made any resolutions for the year. Hmmm, my reply would be...

None!

That is because I realise year in and year out I make a loooooooooooong list of resolutions that I thought I intend to keep but never really did in the end.

For example, I said I need to lose at least 10kgs by the end of the year (that's my yearly resolution from 2002-2008) and I never really did. I still look like a tub of lard, struggling to find the perfect fit for clothes. Every year, I start out excited about it but then, I just never have enough resolution in me to achieve it. Lol.

There are so many resolutions I made every year that I can't remember most of them anymore. I prolly should go hunting for the lists now. It's hiding somewhere, definitely, but I just can't remember where now.

On my list had places I wanted to go, people I wanted to be nicer to, hopes and dreams for the future, fears I wanted to overcome, characteristics I wanted to develop and get rid of. Some happened, some (I hope) is still in the process of happening.

Hence, my conclusion is not to make any resolutions this year and try to keep the ones I've made previously. I decide to just live in the moment and do almost everything my previous self would never have dared to do. (Not bad things, of course. That's still a big No.) I want to be free to explore outside of the boundaries my resolutions sets me in.

All that is a lazy person's excuse for not having any resolutions.
