By the time I came across 2 1/2-months-to-New-Year’s-Resolutions Resolutions through Design Crush, it was almost half a month down, two to go, nearing the end of October. It remindes me so much of the “It’s okay . . . ” pages in Glamour, my favorite magazine pages of all time, the pages that single handedly lead me to choose that magazine over all the others when I’m in line at the airport or under the helmet dryer at a salon.
Unlike all the placid allowances made by Condé Nast, some of the resolutions pinch me. 13. Remember, love doesn’t find you on its own. Oh. 31. Don’t waste another second. Please? Fine, fine. Since you asked nicely. I’ll try to try.
Just over the cusp and into November, the day after a call was made for our resolutions, new updates ceased. Did the project run out of steam? Funds? Resolve?
This is the resolution I submitted:
Maybe not the metaphor one would expect. Then again, less or lessened volume isn’t always a bad thing, metaphorically speaking. And literally, it’s almost certainly a good idea. Turn the volume down, please. Protect your hearing. Be kind to your ears.
