I used to gossip a lot when I was younger. I can admit that this was due to my upbringing and growing up in a family where gossip was normalized and my family members gossiped so much. It wasn't until I was older that I realized how wrong it was. I take full responsibility and have decided to be better and not talk about others. I always wanted to stop but it was hard not to. Last year, I made a New Years resolution to not gossip anymore, and I made a conscious effort to refrain and not talk about others when I felt the urge to do so. There were a few times this past year where I slipped and talked about others, but it was a lot less than I used to and I no longer gossip as much as I used to in the past. This year, I'm making a conscious effort to not gossip and no longer talk about others. That is my New Years Resolution.
