Making a resolution I intend to break
I am debating resolving to be less secretive this year, but I really doubt if I can manage that. It’s so ingrained — and I have no idea, anymore, what I’m worried about if I don’t keep secrets, but just in case, I’ll never tell anyone anything.
This serves me about as well as one might expect.

Do you do that thing where you go into a shop and some salesperson asks what you are looking for and you MAKE SOMETHING UP or say “just browsing”, even thought there is something specific you are after that they could help you find? I do that all the time, and then chastise myself afterwards, because really, what is so sinister about a salesperson knowing what you came in to buy?
I think it’s the same thing that makes me lie to my hairdresser when she asks what I’ve got planned for the weekend.
