Another year, and everyone is making resolution lists. It should be "go outside more" or "see friends" since the pandemic took over everyone's lives, but its still the same old things: diet, lose weight, save money. I never understood it really. Don't we make those goals all year long? What difference is a party and a bunch of shots going to change? I used to believe it renewed hope in us to keep trying, which is still vaguely true; but really its how we lie to ourselves - and here I am 30 years later, saying I don't want to lie to myself anymore. So let's keep it at that. Try honesty. I probably won't diet very well, I'll fail over and over again, but I'll keep trying. I probably won't lose weight and feel better about myself as I age and lose my hair, but I'll keep trying. Isn't that what we call living? Keep trying, keep failing, keep hoping, and keep getting up and trying again. Life. The circle of never-ending attempts to be better. And then the picture below just looks so damn familiar.
