Starting again is...
So I've been horribly neglectful of my LJ the last two months; unbelievable to think I haven't posted anything in 2012 yet. I guess it's representative of how hectic things have been on many levels in the last couple of months.
I think everyone knows the way it goes: you make New Year's resolutions and within a few weeks of the new year you find yourself diverging from them. I had only one resolution for 2012 and it wasn't to exercise more, eat healthier, hang out with friends more... It was purely and simply to make this my year, a happy year, a better year than 2011. Three weeks later and I'm back to my old bad habits: taking on the responsibilities of others, spending energy on things that don't deserve it and allowing others to determine my happiness.
It's something everyone is familiar with and most of us are guilty of. New Year's resolutions are hard to stick to, because, quite simply put, it's hard to start again.
So yesterday I made the first step in making this a better year for myself, in living up to my promise to myself for 2012. Luckily I still have 344 days to complete my New Year's resolution... ;)
