2021 is around the corner. It's time to throw out "resolutions" and ask yourself one valuable question instead.

"How can I enrich my life?"

Looking at your life from this angle helps you think about what's important to you. Is it intimacy, confidence, career opportunity, financial stability? Those can all enrich your life and you can accomplish those things without attaching to a specific person or thing because these ideas are fluid. These ideas can be cultivated in multiple ways.
