Tonight,
people will ask you
about your New Year’s resolutions.
Some of these people
will be strangers.
Some of these people
won’t be kind people.
Some of these people
secretly or not-so-secretly
will want you to fail.
That’s sh*tty
but that’s reality.
Only share your heartfelt
important-to-you
resolutions or goals
with people you know
will be supportive
and people you know
you can trust.
Do that privately.
Don’t share it
at a party.
At parties
and/or with other people,
share the superficial
or unimportant-to-you goals.
Things like
watching every episode
of Supernatural
or
trying 8 new-to-you types
of cheeses
or
painting your toenails
a different color every week.
Don’t share
your important goals
tonight.
