I think it's funny that people only take the time to do major introspective reflection from December 31st through January... 3rd, maybe, at the latest. After the Third, people seem to feel pretty good about themselves. There's a lot of "never again"'s and "it's a new beginning"'s. I think it's strange that people don't say that on January 7th. Or

Well it's inevitable people do a little of self-reflection and analysis by the end of the year because New Years makes the yearly cycle very tangible. The start and the end for goals, etc. Tho I agree people should exercise introspective reflection more often at least the beginning of the new year makes it somewhat mandatory

"I say I live without regrets but what I truly mean is that I accept my regrets. I think it's healthier."

I like that. A lot. Very well put, and probably more in line with my thought process than just "live regretfully", or something.

As far as everything else, I think most of my resolutions were spawned by some personal crisis or another that I attempted to whittle down into a bullet point. Makes them easier to remember, and eventually easier to marginalize later in the year. The knowing people, the forgiveness, the cosmic knowledge... I mean, I don't want to get into the specific reasons I chose those, but they're all meaningful in the general, and the specific, I hope.

The creation one was a lifted resolution, admittedly. I'll post the link below. It's off of the 'Seven Rules for Life and Hiding" from the movie 'I'm Not There'. Take form that what you will, but here's the link regardless. It's a beautiful movie.

Thanks for taking the time, by the way. I appreciate that.

That way of thinking took a bit of time to actually apply. Even now it's hard to think like that but I try my best.

I understand that you have your reasons, you seem to have good ones and that's what's important.

I loved the link you sent,because I don't know much about the movie it's kinda enigmatic and makes me quite interested.I'll try to watch it at some point, I like stuff like this.

And no prob man, I can't ignore interesting journals.
