Blogging Woolf

Virginia Woolf was an expert at making New Year’s resolutions. Alice Lowe reported on her resolutions of 1931 and 1936 in a post on Dec. 27, 2010. Since then, one particular resolution has been popular on Twitter and Facebook. Here it is from the Charleston Trust. Her resolution stands up well 90 years later.

Virginia Woolf’s New Year’s resolutions❤️

January 2, 1931:⁣
Here are my resolutions for the next 3 months; the next lap of the year.⁣
To have none. Not to be tied.⁣
To be free & kindly with myself, not goading it to parties: to sit rather privately reading in the studio.⁣ pic.twitter.com/ljcfE8RlFa
