New Year’s Resolutions:
I don’t need any
Negative vibes in my life or to set myself up for failure so,
There’s no reason to add
Unnecessary stress; it’s toxic.
I need to remember,
A scroll of fine-printed, short-term solutions to all of my insecurities:
Work out more, eat less, listen more, spend less.
Only then I will achieve happiness.
I have to let go of the fear of failure; it’s not an option.
My goals; I have to stick to them and see them through.
Whenever I think about,
My weaknesses; I break down because I forget about my strengths.
I can’t keep fueling this unhealthy set of expectations.
It is no longer good enough if I focus on kindness, handwork, and compassion because I need to bemore.
This is what the world tells me:
I will be skinnier, healthier, wiser, safer, better.
But instead,
All I can offer is that:
I will be kind, I will try hard, I will take care of myself, I will take care of others.
But this still makes me feel like I need to be more.
I could establish some New Year’s Resolutions;
Maybe:
I will start out the year right.
Certainly:
I will finally accept who I’m meant to be.
