Have you failed your New Year's resolutions yet?

Posted by MalFromed - January 27th, 2022


---Ramble---


Because I certainly have! Bear in mind that this isn't an "Everyone must be miserable like me!" type of thing. It's more so a "Let's take a step back and give ourselves a chance to breathe." type of thing. See, I had two simple tasks that I set out to do at the beginning of the year, and I failed them both. The first and most important was delivering art to people I made things for, and the second was to start uploading more frequently. Fortunately, these are not things that lead to an absolute failure, just a "How come you haven't done this yet?" type of thing. So rest assured, I'm not dead or anything (I'm on here everyday), just very busy with all the things I heaped onto my plate.


---The List---


So first and foremost, the art that I owe people. I won't name names because some of these are supposed to be surprises (if someone bothers to guess and it happens to be them, I'll let them know). I had wanted to get them all done before I started sending them out, but unfortunately, that's taking longer than expected, so I guess I'll just suck it up and send out what's already done. Less stress that way, you know?


Now let's get this list started.


~People I Owe∽


  • Person 1: Complete & Sent!
  • Person 2: Complete! Just have to send it.
  • Person 3: Complete! Just have to send it.
  • Person 4: Scrapping & Starting Over.
  • Person 5: Scrapping & Starting Over. About a quarter of the way done.
  • Person 6: Incomplete. Literally started last night. Flushing out the idea.
  • Person 7: Child. If you are reading this, just know; I do not care how big that horse is. I'll get to it when I get to it.


Fortunately, I'm not getting paid to do any of these, but I still shouldn't make people wait this long.


~(Personal To-do's)∽


  • Start & Finish the comic commemorating my scouting.
  • Actually bother to upload things.
  • Begin preparations for the 32 Follower Milestone comic. (I can only make them in increments of 16, you see.)
  • Continue working around in the guts of my project.
  • Have Fun!


I made this list to keep myself in check. The idea that someone might see this and have the knowledge that I am working on something should motivate me enough to see these things through to the end. Not in a "People believe in me!" kind of way, but more so an "Oh God, someone knows!" sort of way.

Not mine, mind you.


Who's?


Mind your business.


However, I will say this; they both act insane whenever I'm around. The little lady (The one barking) acts like no one gives her any attention at all. Which simply isn't true. I pet her for a genuine 20 minutes, and she still demanded attention.


As for the boy (the one staring in intense anticipation), every time we meet, he decides to do battle with me. And that'd be fine if it weren't for the fact that he goes for the nuts every time. No respect, this boy. Last time we met, he ramped it up and performed a flying tackle into me. I saw him build up speed, launch himself into the air, and shift into a Wario style Shoulder Bash™. If I were not so battle hardened, he would have managed to knock me over. Still a hundred years too young to defeat me.


Alright enough procrastinating. I got work to do. I hope your year has been pleasant so far, and I wish you luck in your future endeavors.

time has gone by so fast I haven't even stopped to think that I should make new years resolutions

Ain't that the truth? But honestly, I wouldn't stress over it too much. I haven't a clue why anybody would get thrilled about New Year's resolutions to begin with. Don't mean to sound like a pessimist or anything, but it's just another day. If the thing you want to do is really something to get excited about, why wait till a new year to do it? Far better to slowly build it up as a routine rather than make some big event out of something that might ultimately end in burnout.

Then again, you could end up like me and fall out of a routine and wind up struggling to get back on track. This, incidentally, leads to a big (yet anti-climactic) moment where you get back on track, sit down and get back to doing the thing.

So I guess in the end, it just boils down to what poison you want to pick.

@MalFromed Yeah. I'm just taking this year one step at a time. I guess a cynical way of putting it is that I don't have the luxury of making a resolution yet. I have too many things on my plate to add yet another thing to hold myself accountable to.
