I thought we are no longer doing New Year’s resolutions thingy?

I guess I was wrong. A week into 2017 I met enough people who shared theirs and asked for mine. To be honest, I haven’t done any meaningful deeds this past first week of 2017, which includes haven't done the dishes, laundry, and some other basic chores, nevertheless NY resolutions. I really need to get my shite together, don’t I?

I hate it when I feel left out in a conversation because I have nothing to say so I told myself to craft some NY resolutions. You see, my NY resolutions is not for me, it is for those who ask me what is my NY, just so I have a solid answer instead being lame saying I have none and makes me sound like I don’t have any plans in life, which I actually don’t, but not everyone has to know that.

My brain hurt a wee bit thinking what would be a cool NY resolution. I realized that NY resolution has to be meticulously crafted. I cant make too many of them because I will get overwhelmed and freak out of how I will never accomplish 50% of those and at the same time I can not make too few either because I don’t want to sound like a snob who has her life sorted out and that she only needs to improve one or two things about herself.

NY resolutions is also about cutting down the bad things you use to do and add more positivity in your life. Now that is when things get contradictive. What if doing bad things is your hobby, your source of happiness in life, the reason for you to keep on going? For example, I love eating donuts and I’ve been told it is not good for my health. So should my NY probably sounds like: invest less on donuts, more on salads? That is actually sound cool, but if I ever said that, we all know it is buffon-fecal-matter.


My motto in life.
NY resolution can also about picking up a new hobby. It is sounds like a good idea but the thing is, I am not a loyal person, it is shown by the mismatching brand of my shampoo and conditioner. If I pick a new hobby then I will neglect my previous hobbies. Like that time when I picked up crocheting, I dumped all my knitting stuff aside, that time when I started this blabber blog, I almost have no time to take care my recipe blog, that time when I started to deeply in love with traveling, I left my country permanently and move to Canada, and that time when I started to pay attention to Canadian politic and the new elected (cute) Prime Minister, I almost forgot that I am married. I think I’d better finish my unfinished projects before picking up a new hobby. Oh wait, can this be counted as resolution? No, it can not. There is a fine line between a resolution and a wishful thinking, and this one falls under the latter category.

One made for horse and the other made for human, both work together in harmony to keep my troll hair manageable.
Although everyone seems to have their resolutions (even my phone, it has 1140x2560 pixels resolutions, I know it is not the same but it is still called resolutions), maybe I have to accept that resolutioning is aint my thang (neither talking in slang accent, apparently). I set goals and work my bubbly derrière off to accomplish it. Perhaps one day I will have the creativity and motivation to actually come up with a list of resolutions to share on a conversation. Oh wait, that’s it! That’s my resolution! Ha! Now that I found mine, what is yours?
