I worked early today. This morning, I joined the daily English meeting as usual (even at the end of the year). Today's theme was how to quit vaping electric cigarettes, and I talked about how I could have quit my drinking habit and tried to connect myself with the self-help group (the "danshu" meeting) in this city (BTW, I have never tried to enjoy smoking at all). According to that experience, I deeply believe that one of the ways to separate yourself from addiction can be to connect you to any self-help group, instead of trying to do it by yourself alone.
Even tomorrow (the 1st day of the new year), we will have the daily meeting. So, this lunchtime I read the text of tomorrow's theme which is the reason why we can learn a third language is easier than a second language (I can't believe it, because even now I can never learn my third language, French, so easily!). Suddenly, as my resolution for the next year, I thought I would try to learn French again, even though it must be so "tough" because I once had tried to learn French at a university, but I could have never mastered it at all.
During my working time, I thought that my life must be very, ultimately strange but wonderful. For example, I am now writing about the ending day of 2024 and it means I have never quit writing my journals during the 2024 literally every day. However, TBH I have never had any ambition as "I must keep writing this serial journal every day, until the end of this year!". Instead, I have to confess that every time I wish I could quit this journal anymore. However, it seems THIS habit of writing it every day has already become a part of my routine.
Why have I started writing the journals? I can't tell certainly. I remember that when I was young, there seemed a sort of "trend" of writing each user's web journal (before the blog era). At that time, I tried to write my one at the corner of the Internet. However, it hadn't gotten so long. And, time has flown... I have never had any resolutions such as I could join Waseda, I could keep writing my journals a year, or I could get so fluent in English, etc. Yes, absolutely, I have never done that. But anyway, that can be a life.
