Husk's Hot Take: Oh, look. Itâs that time of year again when everyone decides this is the year theyâll magically fix their lives, as if a new calendar is some kind of personality reset button. Newsflash, itâs not. Itâs just January with more guilt and less booze left in your fridge.
I donât get the whole âNew Year, New Meâ thing. Whatâs wrong with the old you? Aside from the crippling anxiety and questionable decisions, but hey, those build character. You think swapping donuts for kale and waking up at 5 AM to meditate is gonna make you a better person? No. Itâs just gonna make you hungry and tired. Congratulations on setting yourself up for failure.
And donât even get me started on gym memberships. Every January, gyms get flooded with people who wear matching workout sets and think sweat is just âglitter leaving the body.â Give it two weeks before those treadmills are collecting dust again. Youâre not committed, youâre just guilty about all the pie you ate in December. Own it.
Honestly? Resolutions are just socially acceptable self-loathing. You donât need a new year to change, you need therapy, a nap, and maybe a stronger drink. But sure, go ahead, promise yourself youâll be different this time. Just donât come crying to me when youâre crying into a pizza by February.
Happy New Year. Iâll be at the bar if anyone needs me, and no, Iâm not sharing my whiskey.
