Rock the Fuck Out
Why do we all make New Year’s Resolutions, knowing that in all likelihood, they’ll be forgotten & discarded by March—silently, and without accountability?
Why is January 1st the day we all feel compelled to commit to life-enhancement? Other than the fact that it’s New Years Day, it’s JUST a day: an arbitrary date, like any other. [...]

I’ve known for a long time that the only one I can unquestionably trust to protect myself is me—and I’ve learned that the most effective armor is indifference.

The things that seem like a big deal today are really not such a big deal six months later.
