This year, for the first time in a while, I’ve written down some resolutions. Traditionally, I’ve considered such activities beneath me. But this has been a year of learning and humbling, of discovering my faults as a parent and a person.
I’ll be better at both things if I improve my mental state, so I’ve started running again, and even bought some vitamin supplements to aid my cognition and energy levels. These have duly achieved their desired effect, externalising all the actual things I can do to improve my health into some shiny placebo pellets that turn my piss so luminescent it glows in the dark.
