As I think about the new year, here are some of the things I’m definitely leaving behind in 2023.
- Eating kale – I’m not a fan.
- The doctor who encourages me to eat more kale.
- Buying presents at the last minute.
- Wrapping presents because I’m terrible at it.
- Purchasing new books that receive a lot of publicity and undeserved hype.
- Reading novels set during World War II.
- Depending on Goodreads for book reviews.
- Facebook reels – a waste of precious time.
- Doom scrolling – too upsetting
- Email subscriptions I no longer read
- Twitter/X
- Imposter syndrome
- Overthinking things
- Binge-watching reality TV shows
- Listening to the local news before bedtime.
What are you leaving behind in 2023?
XO,

What I would like to leave behind is my thriving to please everybody else but myself. Also I want to drop the being upset about things I can’t change. Like idiots on the freeway.
