I don’t usually go for New Years resolutions. I know a vast majority of them fail within the first few months or even weeks. But I’d like to think this is a different kind of resolution.
Starting now, I resolve to try harder.
In the throes of prenatal depression, I will start trying harder at the things that are important to me. To be appreciative. To prioritize and make time for my wellbeing. To write more. To always be available when my toddler wants to cuddle. To try new things. To forgive myself when I fall short.
And this isn’t a resolution for 2019, or until I have a baby, or until anything else. This is an ongoing resolution, from this day forward. I’m tired of being in a slump. And what better time, and what better way to start to try harder to improve?
