In theory, everyone’s new year’s resolutions should be easier this year. You want to get fitter – because you would be happier in your body. You want to give up smoking – so you don’t stay up until 2am, worrying about death. You want to learn a new skill – so you can feel really triumphant and cool about yourself while speaking French/doing a wheelie/whittling a spoon. Forget “betterment” – resolutions are just humans making a series of hopeful little wishes, on New Year’s Eve, for the next
