I hope everyone has a year full of happiness, health, friendship, fulfillment, growth, accomplishment, and complete avoidance of Kim Kardashian, Snooki, and any/all Real Housewives. My goal (NOT resolution) for 2012 is to shut out the nonsense and focus on what matters. Bye, meaningless pop culture icons. I seriously don't care anymore. I need to make up for lost time by paying real attention to current events, economic news, government happenings.
Even if the world doesn't end on December 21st, I'm pretty sure we're in for some major transitions. 2012 already has a deep feeling of urgency (you know- beyond the doomsday fears, rampant political unrest, and overarching socioeconomic panic). Us first-worlders feel disillusioned and betrayed, and are finally questioning the system by taking to the streets (..loudly...with cameras) and being more thoughtful about where and how we spend our money. Which is reflecting what we honestly feel is valuable. Which is awesome.
Our new climate brews revolution- and not just the government kind. We can hopefully look forward to some social evolution too, as people unite to protect the human and environmental interest and start taking responsibility for careless and selfish actions. Internet dictionary defines revolution in a few ways, but my fav is 'a sudden, complete, or marked change in something.' 2012 will most likely not be the end of the world, but will surely mark a period of exciting and uncomfortable changes.
And I am ready for it, and hope to do my best in taking new risks and doing what's responsible and kind and right.
Now I'll sign off with some shallow comment about making resolutions to lose 10 lbs, read more, and drink more water? Naw. I hate resolutions.
But I'd love to lose 10 lbs!
