Resumes and Resolutions

As @brandonwilson outlined in a recent post, new years resolutions aren’t really a great year to start something new. If you are committed to something, every day can be January the first.

The same thing goes with last year resumes. If I want I could write a resume of a past day every day. Nothing would prevent me from it.

Since I will “celebrate” the upcoming new year at my parent’s house, I probably will write a resume of the past year. Or maybe about the past 10 years, as some people already did.

Anyway. The thing with resumes and resolutions is, that most of the time “new years resolutions” get broken relatively quickly. Resumes on the other side look back on all the good stuff that happened in the past timeframe.

Resumes don’t look back to the start of the year and on what resolutions were broken.

If you would be true to yourself, you would need to write our talk about the bad stuff that happened.

But like all humans, we are liers. Writing about the great and fun stuff we did and ignoring the horrible and terrifying stuff.

I know, one size doesn’t fit all, but do you tell your relatives directly the stuff you hated they did this year or the stuff that hurt you?

Yes, I also don’t. :)
