Oh.
Here we go, again, into a new year pursuing weight-loss, budget-wrangling, perfection, idealism.
Here I go again, beginning the obligatory self-preaching routine: these are the things I need to do.
Here’s what I’ve learned: what I think I want isn’t always the prize I hoped or thought it would be.
Here’s what I’ve decided: it’s ridiculous to keep chasing the same carrot.
This year isn’t going to be the year I do the things I want to do.
This will be the year of not doing the things I don’t want to do.
I don’t want to wait.
I don’t want to deny.
I don’t want to worry.
I don’t want to dislike.
I don’t want to be difficult for any reason.
I don’t want to bow to unreasonableness.
I don’t want to scrutinize my shortcomings.
I don’t want to focus on the way things have been.
I don’t want to find out I should have or could have.
I don’t want to attempt to be something I never will be.
I don’t want to hold out anti-achievements as future possibilities.
I don’t want to accept this is all there is to here and now and forever.
