New year’s resolutions –
Less calories, weight
Less regret, judgement of others
Less alcohol, sugar, fat, carbs, meat
Less screen time, technology, ideals.
Even though I usually don’t fall into the hype
I find myself feeling like I should
But everything I consider isn’t less
It’s more –
More kindness to myself
More time with family and friends
More culture, movement, confidence
And while the trade-off is ultimately
an accumulation of less
It seems easier to embrace a positive
Rather than a negative.
