The following is something I wrote a whole year ago, but I never completed and never published. I’ve taken tweaked a few words here and there, but by and large it remains untouched. I still feel the exact same way a year on. It’s insane how much of an impact that documentary made on me. If you’ve not had a chance to look at it, I highly recommend it.

I'm talking of course about new year's resolutions. In this regard I'm not different than most people. A year is a long time. Life always throws new things in your general direction over the course of the year with amazing regularity. We're human beings and so we get bored, we get excited by the new.

After watching Objectified, I definitely look at things I buy with a lot more care. I want to see the love put into everything that I buy. I want things with soul. I don't want shit cluttering up my life. As such that was a life time resolution. It comes with some difficulty, due in part to the fact that I can't compromise, which is harder, but this is a resolution I've decided to keep. If it's not necessary and doesn't get used, what's the point in having it.

These are resolutions to keep for a lifetime. They are a way of life. However it's always nice to have smaller more mangeable goals to try and achieve in the meantime.
