Taking a break from the Milea and doing a general prompt today. It's all right, because you can expect a chapter out next week. Today's writing prompt is: What does New Year's day mean to you?
Everyone says it's a new year, a new life. I subscribe to this theory for the first few weeks in January. I make resolutions to be more positive, to lose weight, to be healthier, to appreciate things more, and to write every day. Almost every year, it's the same resolutions. I lose a few pounds and sometimes I'm lucky enough to keep it off without even trying. I set up work out plans, new diets, a schedule to keep me structured, and whatever else I think I need to achieve my goals for the year. This lasts for a week. I get bored, I forget, I get off track. Whatever happens, it's done. I'm off track, and there's no going back. So all the well-intentioned goals of New Year's Day turn into gut-wrenching failure. In the end, New Year's Day is the beginning of a short period of self-pride and a longer period of shame and regret.
