2021 goals:
>Learn to drive
Been saying this shit for years but I signed up for lessons and got my license. Been practicing in my dad's car and it's enjoyable but scary. The biggest hurdle is out of the way though, so here's to hoping next year I'll continue to get better and more comfortable behind the wheel.
>Read 1 book a month
I didn't read 1 book a month but I did finish 12 books so far this year. I've been downloading a lot more than I can read so I should really get through my library.
2022 goals:
>Read more
I mainly only read during my commute, I want to read more during my free time at home instead of mindlessly scrolling through the internet.
>Reel in spending
My 2021 goal was to not buy any clothes at all and I was very proud of achieving that, but I did buy a lot of clothes this year. Next year I want to spend a lot less on material items in general. I find this hard because "less" can be such a blurry line compared to straight up "no ___ at all."
>Lift more
I started going to the gym and lifting this year. It makes me feel great and it'd be great if I could continue and progress to higher weights.

I'm planning on continuing improving my art fundamentals so I can get into this art school. It's in the downtown area of my city, meaning I have to be careful about pissing off trannies if I get in this year lmao. The suburban areas and the downtown area of my city are the only really accepting places of the lgb(and trannys).

Learn from Vilpu, Hampton, and Loomis (I did not like his books or his teaching style but I feel like I have a new perspective on art and learning now so I will give it another shot).

2022 has been the worst year of my life and it’s almost entirely due to my actions. I can’t wait for it to be over. I want to get rid of the guilt and shame I feel, forgive myself for my past actions and move on. But that doesn’t take back the damage I’ve done to others.

2022 was the year I got sober and ended a toxic relationship where I was 100% dependent on the person I broke up with, but it did involve me losing what stability I had in life in terms of a living situation. Thankfully I was able to move back in with my parents to have some time to recover but 2023 will be the year I get my life together, and start being more like a “real adult.” Putting this here so I can look back next year and either be proud of myself or massively disappointed as usual

Although I was effectively a NEET for half a year after I graduated this summer, this year wasn't a bad year for me. There was a point when I thought I wouldn't graduate at all, and I had no clue where I'd be, so really I'm counting this as a success. Also I'm still so happy with how far my art has come. It has nothing to do with my employment or anything useful, but as a hobby I'm happy at how much time I got to spend on it. Here's to hoping this next year is even better!

I want to grow my hair, I want it to be really long, or get a wig, I just want to be able to do Sailor Moon's hairstyle at least once and for it to look neat, with the ridiculously long hair.
I want to start going to a gym and continue my diet and workout routine like during this year, it has been great for my body, I still don't look the way I want to look, but I feel healthier, my stomach feels better too.
I also want to meet with my friends more often and earn some money.

I checked my HLTB account just now and after updating a few things and making a new tab for video games I have (either gifts or bought on sales or second hand for very cheap) but don't feel like playing yet I just noticed that I don't have a lot of games left in my backlog anymore. So a resolution of mine for next year will be to try and beat all the games in my backlog in 2023 (not including NG+ runs). It's going to be hard but doable because some of them are long JRPGs. I'm not including visual novels and short games on PC though. I don't know why but this is making me happy. Maybe I'll treat myself at the very beginning of the year though with a few coupons or vouchers I have for a specific store to buy very specific games I've wanted for a while but I won't make excessive purchases, and there are games I was looking forward to that seemed disappointing at launch so I won't make my backlog bigger than it already is.

My resolution for 2023 is to make the year as comfy as possible. There are a lot of things I had to deal with in 2022 that will continue into 2023 and there isn't much I can do about it. But what I can do is take care of myself the best that I can so that I can deal with all of that uncontrollable stuff a lot easier than if I was always beating myself up, comparing myself to other people, and not giving myself a break. I'm going to make nice meals for myself and keep my place clean, make time for my hobbies, and maybe sign up for a class at the gym. But most importantly I'm not going to beat myself up over what I haven't been able to accomplish because I know that I'm doing my best and working hard and being hard on myself only makes things worse. So happy to leave 2022 behind!

all i've really done is advance through university. even then, i'm stuck finishing up a project for a class (incomplete grade). hoping i can hit a stride period soon and get it wrapped up…i won't even consider the alternatives/speak or write them into existence. really want to have my degree before my 24th birthday. yeah it's not a race but kek i need to be out of here.
actually, i guess i did hit my reading goal this year? might've matured a bit, or rather…better learned what i actually want to do with my life. but jeez i really stagnated this year.

Last year, I resolved to live healthier and lose more weight. While I did eat less and manage to lose like 40 pounds, I still haven't really gotten into exercising really so I'd like to do that as well as continue to lose weight. I also need to eat more healthy foods instead of just eating one unhealthy meal a day lol. I think I will make it a goal to eat one salad a week and go from there. Also maybe I can exercise more by playing stepmaniax. Also I need to make more friends and get myself a girlfriend, but all the lgbt stuff on campus is obviously filled with tras. Maybe I'll just try and join a weekly club and be more active on HER.

>>1460595I feel that
nonnie. I don't have to work nearly as many hours (just a regular work week) but my commute is kinda long and I don't always have time to eat or meal prep. I've recently started using a pressure cooker to make bulk meals like soup or curries and it's been helping. Also just accepting that sometimes the best you can do is bring multiple kind of bland sandwiches and fruit to work and that it's still better than not eating at all. Good luck, and I hope you can take more time to yourself this year!

>>1461188Wouldn't recommend trying to lose that much weight, would probably make yourself very ill and it would definitely be insanely difficult. 25lbs is more realistic.
But if you know you're aiming for the stars so you can hit the moon, go for it.

I had a really good 2022, but over the excitement of Christmas and New Year I forgot to take my meds and had a bit of a lapse into depressive habits. But it was good to know that it was a dip because of choices I made and could control, and not world events putting my life on standstill in a way I can't fix. A small wobble is a lot easier to set right when I know exactly what I did to cause it, ig.

>>1460952I started focusing more on my traumas and actually dissecting them. I used to emotional dump my problems to my partners or friends but I realized I was just talking about it, not analyzing it. I found root causes to other things and made peace with what I could. I became more selfish because I never am and that helped me get passed a lot of the doormat/woeisme part. I had a therapist for only a month because it was fucking expensive, but I realized the therapist was good for me to just talk about whatever I needed to because I tend to bottle up. After therapy I did research on cognitive behavioral therapy and that helped me kick myself in the ass. The biggest take from the cbt was a thought you process that says "the terrible thing you just told yourself, would you say that to a friend?" And that helped me focus.
Of course everyone is different nonna and I'm still working on myself but I believe in you! I often used to think about suicide and I would drink myself to sleep in prior years but this year was crazy because I feel I made a lot of change in a short amount of time.

>>1527866I'm glad you asked nona! It's forced me to reflect.
It's not been going well. I thought I had a bright 2023 because I broke up with my disappointing but inoffensive moid, and had this mindset of not settling for less from now one. I'm glad I did it, but I pushed myself too much in January. I started doing yoga daily and cooked healthy 3x a week, all new habits that I thought keeping busy and seeing the results would make me content. I think it was the January weather combined with leaving the main person I was attached to that just made me feel sort of underwhelmed by everything I was trying to do. I'd go on scenic days out, but it got dark early and it was cold. If I stayed inside I was bored, I was sick of netflix. I developed this mindset of just waiting it out till spring because what I was feeling was just temporary.
Then February came and I was hit with 2 viruses 2 weeks apart, some kind of flu then bronchitis. I did nothing. I ate the easy junk food and of course stopped doing yoga. I just rotted in my bed ruminating on the fact that if I didn't leave my moid he'd be doing grocery runs and anything to make me more comfortable. I hated seeing myself get unfit and consumed media between fitful sleeping. It's only been around a week now that I can do yoga again but I'm more unfit from the baseline I started from so it's really been a struggle.
I'm not giving up and will scale up my efforts slower this time compared to January. I won't have the results as fast as I'd like, but I will get there! But if I get sick again soon I think…yeah I'm giving up.
What about you?

I also mentioned my dysmorphia for 2022 and I've worked on that. I don't restrict myself on what I can and can't eat. I just eat those in moderation and upped my protein. I'm in much better shape than I was before.

nonnie that makes sense. The other nonna should have specified though, cause a lot of people in weight loss groups want to be slightly underweight and I think it’s a harmful thing to perpetuate
