Well Hello Art

Hello 2025!

I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions, but it’s nice to meet you. I can’t remember the last time I put myself through the vigors of a promise that was so hard to keep, or why I wanted to do that to myself in the first place. Perhaps, I’ve grown wiser or perhaps, I’m too old and less agile. At any rate, I no longer want to waste my energy on jumping through hoops or straining to reach a bar that’s just too damn high.

It’s not that I don’t like bringing the New Year in with good cheer, I just prefer it without grand announcements. The added pressure of sharing a weakness with others, who will then gauge the rate of success by asking me “how’s it going?” throughout the year, doesn’t appeal to me. And as quiet as its kept, I don’t particularly want to keep an eye on someone else’s New Year’s Resolution, so I’m quite good if no one shares theirs with me.

It’s 2025 and I don’t care what others think of my my body or my looks. I’ve grown accustomed to minding my own business and to keeping my opinions to myself. In other words, I tolerate others, and show grace and kindness by embracing our differences. I appreciate diversity, I’m inclusive and strive for equality. When we get along, finding beauty in the world is easy.

I accept others, as I accept myself. It’s been a journey, but I finally got to this place where I’m comfortable. I don’t have a lot of vices, and those that I do have, don’t make me a menace to society.

To some people, I’ve grown boring, that is I can’t drink as much, I don’t go out every weekend and I can’t stay up as late. But, I’m here. Still smiling out loud. Can you hear me? #SOL 🥰
