resolution, n.


The word resolution has so, so many meanings and, thus, just as many synonyms. The most simplistic definition of the word that I've found thus far, though, has got be the following:

resolution, n. a firm decision to do or not to do something.

So basically I've been going about this resolution thing all wrong.

Somehow, my resolutions always sound like they've been written by a Hallmark copywriter, or a New York Times staff columnist ("I'm going to treat my body better; I'm going to foster healthy relationships..."). The thing is, those are exactly the things I'd like to do.

Most of all, though, I resolve to move on with no regrets.

Happy New Year.
