Hello hello,
It’s been a few days since the solar eclipse, and I’m already feeling like a different person post-totality. I didn’t think it would make such an impact on me— honestly, I was just excited to go upstate with some friends, be in nature and the eclipse was an added bonus. But it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
I’m not a big space person. I’ve never really even seen Interstellar! (It played in the background while I made out with someone on a date once, but I can’t tell you anything that happens). Now? Huge fan of space. Might even give the film a second try.
But there’s nothing like seeing the sky go dark and have the sun blocked out of view to make you feel so incredibly small and in awe of the universe. We always need more moments like these, and I’m so grateful I got to experience this special event.
Which is why I’d like to propose Solar Eclipse Resolutions- they’re more binding and important, because, ~space~, but you have until the next eclipse to make a new one. So, we have until 2044 to make sure we keep our resolutions. Way less pressure! Plus, no more overpriced New Year’s meals - only eclipse shaped foods allowed. So, just Oreo cookies and wheels of cheese. I even had a Totality-Kiss (the new New Year’s Kiss). What more could a girl ask for?
All in favor, please comment your Solar Eclipse Resolutions below!
Here are a few of mine:
