How many are like me and made a new years resolution and then gave up or forgot about what you said your 2025 year was going to be? Oh just me.. Ok I see you 👀

BUT SERIOUSLY—spill the tea. We’re officially nine days into the year. Who’s still pretending kale is a food group, and who’s already “accidentally” ghosted the gym? 🏋️‍♀️❌

Let’s face it—New Year’s resolutions are like houseplants: they start strong, and then, oops, you forget to water them, precisely why mine might be not making it so far this year. 😬 But hey, no shame! We all had big dreams a week ago. So, what’s yours? Learning a new language? Running a marathon? Finally organizing that junk drawer that’s been haunting you since 2018?

Here’s the real question:
- Are you still crushing it? 🎯
- Have you “adjusted expectations”? (aka given up entirely) 😂
- Or are you somewhere in the middle, googling “how to stick to a resolution” while binge-watching *The Office* for the 47th time?

Comment below with your progress—or lack thereof. Anyone up to share their funniest fail stories? Let’s laugh through the struggle together. And remember: January is basically a trial month. You can totally start over in February. 😉
