I celebrated my birthday a few weeks ago, an event that is simultaneously happy and distressing for me. As much as I try or pretend to be, I’m not one of those ‘live without regret’ people, so these holidays that delineate the passage of time are hard for me.
Inspired by a dear friend, I often think about resolutions around my birthday, rather than January 1st. This year, they kind of fall into three categories.
- Taking care of myself. I have a somewhat self-sacrificial tendency, where I ignore things I need to take care of for myself. So. Pay attention to me, for a change.
- Take risks, find myself a new job, and actually like what I do again.
- Start a real blog. This has been brewing for quite some time, and I’m starting to really work on it. Nothing yet to share, but I will eventually.
Relating to number 3, I’ve mostly switched over to Pinterest for the kind of pictures I used to post here- I’m going to keep this space for my own pictures and writing. So if that’s not your bag, check me out over there.
