With the dawn of every new year, many people often find themselves committing to do something better moving forward. Everyone typically has some sort of resolution, whether it is to lose some weight, get more exercise, be more social ... resolutions can come in any shape and form. But my question is, with the possibility of the impending demise of our world as we know it, did anybody forego their resolutions for the year?
I look at it like this: if I only have less than a year left to live ... for that year, I'm going to live it up! You only live once, you know - I don't want to meet my apocalyptic doom while composing a spreadsheet, or putting together a proposal. I want to go out with a bang! So my resolution this year is to get out there and live life to its fullest.
This year, I want to do something I've never done, go places I've never gone, and eat foods I've never heard of. I want to live and love recklessly, to throw my head back and bask in the sunshine, to feel the powder sand beneath my toes and the wind in my hair. I want to get into a pillow fight, and eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I want to laugh until everything hurts, until I maybe even cry ... but I only want to shed happy tears this year. This year, I'M taking control of my own happiness and learning to let go, because I can't expect other people to make me happy or to always do the right thing ... but I CAN have that expectation of myself. And that power, that ownership ... feels really good...
Apocalypse, or not.
