I tried. I really did.

I won’t say that I failed because this year didn’t feel like a failure. But my attempts were not effective.

My New Year’s resolution for 2024 was to try to be less responsible, especially for the irresponsibility of others, and to prioritize my mental health and reducing my stress over things that are out of my control. For good measure, I even granted myself an extension on my failed 2023 New Year’s resolution to say no to anything that would cause me additional stress. I was sure that was the winning combination for a successful 2024!
