so for the past couple of years i have made new years resolutions (more like goals really), and did a surprisingly decent job at accomplishing them. the thing is, looking back at them...they seem rather superficial and meaningless. i guess at the time i made them i didn't think so. and well, they weren't. but what is the point of me putting "stick with the gym" on the list again when clearly i have achieved this goal, made it an integral part of my life, and i really don't think you could keep me away from my precious kickboxing if you tried!
but anyway, i could make another list of the same sort of thing, but i think it misses the point.
yes, i want to still travel to a new country (ahem peru) and a new state (ahem WA)...but just saying it like that totally overlooks that the reason why i want to accomplish this is because i love to travel and experience new people and cultures. while going to rhode island might not be so very new and exotic, it does open the door to a new experience and a chance at reflection. (rhode island was really cute and awesome, btw.)
anyway, for right now, no resolutions. i want to do things like look for a new job, and a new direction in my career, etc - but i can't make that a resolution. i am not going to change jobs for the sake of a resolution or anything. obviously.
