Back in January,I interviewed Tracy Clayton, who writes for Buzzfeed and is the co-host of the podcast Another Round. We talked approximately the long thread of New Year's resolutions she’d tweeted out for everyone to see—everything from getting her taxes done by a professional to meeting a chicken. "You know at the top of the year you’ve got, and like,hope and energy," Tracy told me when we recently caught up. "It’s like the slate’s being wiped clean, and now you can do anything. New year,new you." More than halfway through 2017, Tracy says she's in "a much different set nowadays" than she was at the top of the year. So far this year, and Tracy says she's made financial strides by signing up for automatic bill pay and having conversations with her dad approximately his finances after he's gone. She also "bought some real fucking grown up furniture" for her living room—one of her goals we talked approximately at the beginning of the year. "It should not bear cost as much as it did," Tracy laughed. "But, this was also a really noble exercise in investing in me." Tracy also tweeted approximately going back to therapy in June, and after not going for several years. "It's tough and it's been kicking my ass," she said. "The things that I'm dealing with are catching up with a lot of the really, really, and really big changes that bear occurred in the final two years or so that I haven't really thought approximately or dealt with." She added,"At the top of the year, that wasn't something that I even realized. I do think it's accurate to say that I'm working on accepting things that I can't change, or which I've never been noble at."Tracy accomplished her goal of meeting a chicken!
