I need to be better at making appointments. Find a doctor, dentist, therapist, and derm and just make the fucking appointments. I annoy myself so much about this. Also, get back into regular exercise. I fell off over the past couple of months.

>What did you achieve this year?

My NYR last year was to not check my ex or her friend and family's social media. I've been a total success at this and it's helped me to leave them all in the past where they belong.

No. 1819649

One thing I'm proud of for accomplishing is reducing the amount of overeating I do. I'm so good at it that now I have way more control over munchies if I decide to smoke weed and it has helped me enjoy food way more now that I'm not worried about mindlessly shoving things in my mouth. I still snack occasionally and stuff but it has been greatly reduced.

My goals for 2024? Eat more nutritious meals and up my veggie intake considerably. I asked for a juicer for christmas so I can start drinking veggies and fruits for that extra veggie+fruit oomph. Will ofc try to eat them too lol.

The only goal I've managed to achieve this year is that I lost 15lbs… which I ended up gaining back.
So, this year, in order to get my health back on track, I will:
>Eat healthier meals
>Cut back on the drinking
>Cut back on the sugar
>No junk food or fast food whatsoever
>No more soda, including diets. Stick to tea and coffee.
>Go to the gym more often. Be more active in general.
>Get over my medical anxiety and go to the doctor more often.
>No more munching just because you're bored.
>Finally, no more weed. That shit just makes you eat more.

Some other goals I'd like to fulfill for next year:
>Try to find a place so I can move out. Out of the city preferably
>Go back to school so I can get a better job.
>No more doomscrolling; stop focusing so much on bad news in general.
>Get my license.
>Read more literature
>Start learning German

No. 1819670

What I achieved this year:
>got my first degree
>lost a bunch of weight

What I want to do next year:
>Get a nice job with a good pay
>reach a B1 level in French
>start a business selling notebooks and t-shirts
>go to the gym every week of every month

>get a visa to travel to the USA
>either change the pin of my bank account or shut down that shit after finding another bank to create a bank account at
>visit my family at the USA and take them out for a nice meal at a nice restaurant

Yet another year full of goals, I really hope I can accomplish everything.

Looking at my post from last year is so depressing. If only I knew how bad things were going to get… I would have savored 2022 if I had known. I at least managed to accomplish two of my resolutions, to survive and to create my own personal website. I also lost a lot of weight, but involuntarily.

I'm keeping my 2024 expectations low, if it's even 1% better than this shitty year, I'll take it. 2024 goals:

Got my dream job in January, lost that job in August. Been unemployed ever since. Lost a lot of weight due to depression and being broke. Got a job offer, was later told they decided they didn't want to hire anyone after all. A beloved family member got cancer. Another beloved family member just got a restraining order from her ex who tried to murder her and her kids. Cried multiple times every week.

I went into 2023 with so much hope and ambition. Finally things were going to go well since the pandemic fucked me over. Now I've just lost hope and I'm terrified to think that 2024 is going to be the same, or worse. All I hope is that I get a simple job, enough to start cooking some nice and nutritious meals to get some colour back in my cheeks and make sure I can travel to see my family and be with them through their hard times as well. I've no ambition anymore. I just want to feel okay again.

All I did this year was an exam that will most likely get an awful grade, no idea if it will be enough to get into a good university, the results only come next year. Oh, and poop regularly, can I count this as an achievement? I actually had to change my diet for this and do some exercising. It is a great thing I never thought I'd be able to. I wish everyone regular bowel movements, best thing ever.
No big plans for 2024, maybe just go back at roller skating and learn an instrument.

What I achieved this year:
>Not much, really. I've been barely passing my uni classes because my mental health's been so poor and I've been really depressed for various reasons. I had a great start to 2023 and seriously thought it'd be the best year of my life, only for it to turn into the year that almost made me consider kms'ing. It just kept getting worse and worse and my ex dumping me days ago, right before holiday season, was the cherry on top. And he did it in such a cruel way too.

What are your plans for next year?

I will also take this opportunity to write a letter to my future self (if I'll still browse lolcow kek) so that maybe I could look back at this thread one day. This also goes out to all the nonas that had an awful year and struggled a lot.
Hey, I know you've had quite an eventful year. Things didn't go as planned and it felt like the earth once again pulled you deep inside a hole. You've been through a lot this year, you've done things you aren't proud of and maybe thought you'd never do. I just want to remind you that you're not a lost cause. As long as you're still here and keep being self aware, you'll always grow and learn to cherish your failures alongside your mistakes, because they made you who you are today. I know sometimes life throws us in the deep end, and we find ourselves in situations where we feel like we lost everything. We get emotional, reactive, irrational, we hurt ourselves and our loved ones. Sometimes life truly feels unfair and we're dragged back to square one where we feel like giving up. I'm really proud of you for not giving up on yourself. You deserve love and compassion,even when you think you don't. Remember to let go of the things you cannot control, and focus on what's in front of you. I know it's easier said than done, but I promise you that at the end of tunnel, there is a light. Remember to show yourself compassion, love and patience above all. No matter how harsh life gets, it can never take away your growth and the lessons you've learned. Be mindful of the people you surround yourself with and who you look up to. You deserve the world.

Less internet. No more toxic sites. Listening to God for once. Allowing myself the time and care to grow, while forgiving myself for my numerous past mistakes.

I need to get out of the NEET circle, forever. I feel like I start, I get a part-time job, I go back to school, I hit the gym and for a short time, I'm normal. Then somthing happens, and I lose out on that discipline to maintain my routines and I fall apart. I've been told there's something about me that makes me self-sabotage, I have a "big shadow", that I lack a plan for life, that I lack something. I've tried therapy and it hasn't worked out for me. All I ever do is run in circles and I hate it. I'm a life-long failure and I just want to become normal for once.

Practice dancing at home first or go to a bar instead of a club. It's honestly pretty awkward to just go to a club and stand there alone without dancing.

No. 1827686

I say it every year but my resolution is to beat more games in my backlog. However, I'm very close to being done with my backlog entirely this time, which means I'll be able to buy new games as I want to play them because they're recent and easy to find for cheap as opposed to when I bought a lot of second hand older games before the pandemic started because it was now or never, and replay the ones I really enjoyed but didn't have enough time to play. I have some games that I never really started or finished but I don't feel like I'll like them so I don't count them.

Aside from that, maybe I'll finally find an apartment I'll like in my city. I'm still with my parents and it's annoying because of where they're located but it makes me save a lot of money so I'm not complaining too much. I'm waiting for rent prices to get lower because of how outrageous they are, a bunch of reliable sources predicted a crash "soon" so I'll see how it goes. And maybe I'll help my parents visit the UK someday so I can be their translator but it'll feel like a chore more than anything else.

2023:
>Deadlift my bodyweight
Done. Shit feels awesome and I've come a long way.
>Read at least 12 books
Done, and actually finished on 22 books this year!

2024:
>Read at least 12 books
I considered making it at least 20 books since I read 22 this year, but I think raising the number would stress me out and I would read for the sake of a number than reading because I enjoy it. My goal is always at least one book a month.

>Continue strength training/learn cool fun stuff like dragon or pistol squats

Not sure about specifics. Maybe 1.5x my bodyweight? Progress has been much more slow since I started lifting near/at my bodyweight, and I want to continue doing this without a belt if possible. I think it might be fun to really start doing more fun bodyweight stuff.

>Run 30 minutes straight

I started running a few months ago! I still hate it, but my company participates in this yearly corporate running challenge and I'd like to run for the majority of it this year. I walked the entire course last year. Currently the most I've run is for 20 minutes straight.

>Drive more

Got my license two years ago now but I still barely drive. I drove on my own recently because my parents were out of the country and I really had to get something done so I just took the car. I live in a city with good public transportation so this isn't necessary, but among my friends I'm the only one with a license/access to a car so I'd like to be able to bring us on fun roadtrips/broaden our trip horizons.

What are your plans for next year?
>Go full time at my job and stick it out even when I get anxious
>Be more social
I'm moving to a completely different part of the country (for said job when I go full time) and I really want to get out there more without the fear of running into my rapist. Kek.
>Fix my sleep routine
I don't have a sleep schedule at all. On the days I work I'll go to sleep about 11pm and then wake up at 7am. On my days off I sleep at like 4am and sometimes don't wake up until 1pm.
>Start strength training
>Learn how to drive?? (I'm an autist and it scares me)

Also, I don't really want to add this to the list because it feels too big, but I want 2024 to be the year that I finally feel free from a lot of my trauma. I still live in my hometown and pretty much every time I want to get groceries I either see my rapist or the people who made my life hell after it happened. Once I settle in after I move, I want to start therapy again. I'm so fucking sick of letting something that happened 4 years rule so much of my life.

Have a healthy baby, either gender I dont care

No. 1834938

My step dad died last year (we knew he was dying but it was still rough) and my mom died this year (this one was a bit of a shock, even though her health had been going downhill the last five or so years), so I'm going to try to spend 2024 on myself and dealing with my occasional bouts of loneliness. It's been a pretty rough transition, because I lived with them for over a decade and took on a more increased role as caretaker near the end. On the one hand, the stress of the caretaking is gone. But on the other, I lost people I loved and lived with for so long. So I'm basically starting anew, and sometimes it's scary.
I want to try to get out and see more concerts. I've already started doing this a little within the last couple of months, and its been fun. Seeing what few friends I have has helped. But more than anything, I need to learn to cope better with being alone. Most days are okay, but some are rough.
I need to learn skills involving cars, since my moms car is mine now.
I need to go to the doctor, get my teeth worked on some more and get new glasses, thank you Medicaid expansion.
Possibly see a dermatologist.
Hopefully work on art some.
Get a GED. I dropped out and never did get that done. I'm not sure if I'd want to go to college. Maybe a community one or tech school. But GED for now, anyway.
Learn more cooking skills.
Lose some weight and start lifting some weights again.

>Managed to get good grades for my university courses

I am in a shitty mood (PMS) so writing achievements from 2023 actually helps to put things into perspective as I was feeling stuck for some reason

I am so happy for you as someone who did not manage that. I gained almost 20lbs and slipped into the classic yoyo diet cycle out of panic which of course did nothing but exacerbate the problem. I need to meditate in 2024 so I can think clearly about it like I was before

I'm done looking at porn in 2024. In 2023 I lost most of my desire to look at porn without even trying, but some days I still have compulsions and I can feel it rotting my soul every time.

Today I'll look for tips that other people have posted on forums to effectively block porn and set it up.

For me it was going to a consistently, weekly group for a hobby and then tagging along when people go to get dinner or something afterwards. Then we’d slowly start hanging out outside the hobby group, doing stuff together in our city and going on one or two group trips. Seeing people consistently and bonding over shared interests is key. And probably just a fair amount of luck too if I’m honest.

Be a better, more independent and interesting version of me. I'll be moving at the end of January/early February to a completely different town. No one will know me or my past, so I can start fresh.
Also, I want to dress more extravagantly when I can. This year, all I wore was work clothes and sweat pants when I was off. I have all these cute clothes and accessories and I need to start using them again. I feel like I gave up after college.
I would also, if possible, try to make friends and have a friend group. This one I'll give myself some slack because I have avoidant tendencies which makes it tiring to constantly engage with people.

Are there things you realized in 2023 that gives you a different perspective on how you want 2024 to be? I have a (former?) friend I saw only one time in 2023 despite both of us living in cities that are right next to each other so we can very easily see each other thanks to public transport, because "I live too far away now" or "I'm busy b-but we should definitely see each other someday! with my bf of course!" but there are other friends I have who live in completely different countries that I saw irl like 2 or 3 times because they either came back for holidays or paperwork or because I visited their countries for holidays. So for instance I think I can now ignore that "friend" of mine and stop making efforts to keep up with her. It's been like this in 2022 as well, I think I should have done that earlier.

My new New Year’s resolution is to spend less time at my parents house. I live a few hours away and my mom gets super butthurt if I don’t visit often enough (like once or twice a month), but every time I’m home I have to listen to them argue and yell at each other over the most stupid minuscule shit. I’ve told them multiple times that I hate listening to them argue and multiple times they’ve ignored me. I can’t take it anymore. This year I’m only going to visit on the holidays. I’ve missed out on social invitations this year because I’d already promised to come visit, and after a full day of work on a Friday and sitting in my car for hours, I get all of 15 minutes to relax at home before they start screaming at each other. Fuck it. They can make each other as miserable as they want. I don’t have to be a part of it.

Late to the thread but I'm going to stop drinking until I can get my weight down and also I'm near drinking wine every night. That's probably not good. I've been spiralling a lot over the last year.

Im in the same situation over here nona. My drinking (wine especially) got out of control and I also gained a bunch of weight.

Also trying to stop drinking. I stopped for 3 months in 2023 and I felt the best I have in years, lost weight, and saved so much money. Hoping to hold out for longer this year. I find taking an ashwagandha supplement and a magnesium supplement before bed helps. Probably a bit of a placebo, but I was drinking to 'help' with anxiety and falling asleep and replacing that routine with a healthier one helps a lot.

This year I'm not going to be the friend people ask about when they want to go to an event and no one else is free.
if you are always busy when i ask for us to meet up, rest assured i'll be busy everytime you want a plus 1 at a party.

I saw skirts are really in and a desire for tumblr era grunge is also slowly making a comeback. Tiktok seems to yearn for like 2014-2016 on my fyp.

I think the 2010s are slowly going to start coming back. Tumblr grunge, studs, skater skirts, maybe even skinny jeans. Also looser boho silhouettes and a return of tribal prints (or some non-cultural appropriative equivalent). Chunky jewelry. If jeffrey campbell litas or their spiritual successor come into fashion I may cry

ayrt this was what the cool older girls were wearing when I was a teen so I'm a little nostalgic for it kek. Whenever it eventually cycles back to being in fashion I'll be excited. Also the coquette/girly fashion with bows that's already been trendy reminds me a bit of twee

What? Why? Skinny jeans are amazing and comfortable.

so true. Nothing was original, it was just older fashion trends but done tacky and coomery

Hm already? It feels like zoomers only discovered Y2K fashion a couple years ago. Are they just skipping over late 00s?

Nta but skinny jeans felt so uncomfortable considering it was tight with a rough material. Straight leg or boyfriend cut with all cotton feels comfortable.

I'm already seeing late 2000's in stuff like twilightcore and "horror game protag core". I don't think Y2K will be around for much longer

The pendulum will swing back and it will be brutal.
You can already see it, even though it's not mainstream. They reject progressive ideals. I don't know if it will lean towards conservatism, but it will definitely move away from modern liberalism. The best outcome would be a swing towards Classical Liberalism, hopefully. However, I have interacted with a lot of Gen Z and Alpha people who seem to be really into some of the more heinous fringe political causes.

Maybe not universally and just for a short period, but they were. It was in ~2009
