Your New Year’s resolutions are jerks. They just highlight your flaws and remind you that you’re not where you should be. But, hi, newsflash, when are we ever where we need to be? What does that even mean? Like the coked out band Oasis once said, just be here now! Where you need to be tonight is going out with your friends and throwing caution to the wind. Say good-bye to your neuroses and anxieties and surrender yourself to a fun night out. Bombshell: 2012 is not going to be the year you magically get your stuff together. Your New Year’s resolutions aren’t going to cause you to have 10,000 epiphanies about how you should live the correct life. You’ll change when you’re ready to change. Usually the changes will be so subtle, you won’t even notice them. You’ll just wake up one day and realize your life is going exactly the way you want.
So go. Go get crazy tonight and resist the feeling of ickiness you have the next morning about drinking too much or eating too much and just be like, “Yeah, I did that. It was cool.” Then move on. Make some bad decisions tonight and blame it all on me, honey.
