So well-intended, so completely, utterly, totally…inconvenient and/or forgettable.
And yet, we still make them, year after year. And then we break them.
It may be only mere days into 2019, and yet, so many people have broken their resolutions, a thread of them sharing their disappointments has already trended on Twitter.
It began with this merry yet highly passive-aggressive tweet:
Happy New Year to everyone except people who haven’t broken any resolutions yet
— ???????? ???????????????????????????????????????????? (@miss_propriety) January 1, 2019
It was a tweet the world could relate to – including, but not limited to, the iconic Cyndi Lauper:
Ok I broke my first New Year’s resolution.. try try again????
— Cyndi Lauper (@cyndilauper) January 1, 2019
This brave husband also shared his resolution fail:
So my wife and I decided that my New Year’s Resolution would be to not piss her off at all this year.
*while typing this*
Jen: Are you putting that on twitter?
Me: Yep
Jen: Well congratulations, you made it a whole 42 seconds before you broke your resolution. You Asshat!

This woman decided to go big, or go home:
Not even midnight and I’ve already broken 3 of my New Year Resolutions, and 2 of the 10 Commandments.
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST FOR 2019 x x

I’ve broken my resolutions but am optimistic about 2020.

One user vowed to have a dry January:
Started my New Year Resolution. And already broke it. Just before I went to bed at 4am I said I’m going to not drink in January. I sit here in The Winny with a pint and think fuck it.

This resolved to limit Uber usage:

But don’t worry, there’s one resolution we’re all capable of keeping:
I’ve broken every single resolution already except stay sexy
