Well now almost a month has passed on this new year and I still haven’t blogged yet. But never fear, I’m correcting that now. And this blog, regardless what the title implies, isn’t another New Year’s resolution blog about how I’ve resolved to lose weight (yearly standard), drink less (that’s just silly) or have children (been there, done that). This is a blog about my much bigger resolution than any of those…
A revelation has slowly over time been dawning on me, people. The revelation that the people in your life don’t always stay the same people you thought they were, or grow at the same rate you grow. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional. But what happens if the people around you don’t grow up as you do? Should you run the gauntlet of trying to pull that person up to whatever stage in life you’re at? Or struggle to find common ground as your life charges on ahead along one path and theirs along another? Or is there another option?
So this year with the aid of my slow-growing revelation, my resolution is to enjoy whatever stage of life I’m at and not make apologises for it to anyone. I chose this life and I’m going to love living it!
