Inspired by @harrybakerpoet’s list.
Resolutions I‘m pretty sure I can achieve this year:
To add pink ostrich feathers to the red dress I just rediscovered in my ridiculously, haphazardly organized storage unit.
To read a book about the history of each of Iran, Russia, India and China.
To say “I’m listening” a lot.
To be more patient with my mother.
To be open to finding a new close friend, or letting one find me.
To master sheet pan pizza topped with mushrooms and pepperoni. One like my sister’s, where the crust is crusty and done, but not too done.
To teach Koko how to tell me when she needs to go outside before she starts circling for a spot inside.
To organize either my inbox or my storage unit (but not both, which would be beyond the scope of “achievable” in the sense in which I mean it here, which is that I will actually do it at some point this year).
To generously interpret other people’s otherwise ambiguous actions in. Especially my brother’s.
To finish creating my list of favorite shops in Paris.
To approach every date with optimism, an open heart and curiosity.
Related (or not): to continue my search for exceptional sex toys.
I’m curious to hear about your “Achievable 2026 Resolutions.” Want to share?
