It’s a new year. It’s a new blog background. It’s a new me.
See, even the internet knows I’m lying.
It may be a new year, but it’s the same old me. If it were a new me, this blog post would have been done at New Year's and not a month later.
This is why I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions.
A few years ago, I just decided I’d stop lying to myself. I would make resolutions like these:
1. Write every day/ finish editing a novel.
2. Loose Weight
3. blah blah blah.
I would try to do these things for a full 30 seconds and then go right back to be me. Now, years later, I haven't changed.
Whatever.
Nothing really changes just because it's a new year.
Change comes from within. Unless you actually want to make these changes you’ll never make them. Why? Change is hard. Lying to ourselves that we really are going to do those things is easy.
That’s why we will always start working out later. We’ll do everything tomorrow. So, I’m still here, unchanged, telling myself I’ll be different
Oh well. When I get ready to make the active decision, I’ll change.
As always,
