For the first time in my life I had actual goals in life and ambitions and everything I've worked hard for got ruined because of the pandemic, so I give up because my destiny is to suffer like a shitty sitcom protagonist. For 2021 I'd like to just not catch covid again, not die, not be on the verge of death again, and maybe get the job I'm trying to get since last year when I graduated.
Maybe I'll try to get my own place or go live in one of my friends' apartment too because she and another friend talked about living together to avoid insane rent prices.

>>644683>For the first time in my life I had actual goals in life and ambitions and everything I've worked hard for got ruined because of the pandemicSame, anon. I just got my first full-time office job last year and immediately lost it at the beginning of this year and had to go back to retail. It fucking blows. I guess my goal for 2020 is just to get back into an office again.
Ideally, I'd also like to start a side hustle, but we'll see.

I have 1 main goal; that being quitting fast fashion and cultivating my own style, and a side goal of improving my skincare routine.
So far, I've been trying to compile photos of outfits I like via pinterest and trying to research about undertone and the like. I plan to then comprise a moodboard of these outfits and then analyse them for cuts, colour palette, essence etc, evaluate whether or not they would realistically look good on me, then attempt to recreate it irl by buying something that I could use to style my already existing clothes that way (possibly something from a popular brand, so I can resell it with ease). If it doesn't look good/I have second thoughts, I'll try to resell it

Setting overly ambitious goals is good but we should not limit ourselves to that because it can lead to disappointment so often. I believe a real way to being happy in life is living like you do, with small ideas that are fully doable and improve your quality of life. And who knows, once quality of life is improved maybe you can tackle some bigger beast, but not make it some ultimate goal you'll later think back on and evaluate your performance on.

I think my wishes for new years are already coming true, im getting my braces done soon. I have two very crooked teeth that i cannot brush so easily so i had holes in them which sucked, but today the dentist cleaned them out and filled them. I also have a baby tooth still which my previous dentist didnt remove, not really surprising considering that dentist was a huge asshole.
Im getting that tooth pulled out so yeah. And after that i'll get my braces, at age 19. It really does suck alot, but money doesn't really grow on trees so i expected it to be this long until i got some.

Realistic goals:
>Sell/give away/donate stuff
>Buy less stupid shit
>Save money (ties into last goal)
>Lose my virginity (spent last year getting hot and gaining confidence plus I think my crush is reciprocating, it's fucking time ladies)
>Get nice skin (already did it once, I just need to get back on my routine again)
>Buy a car
>Apply next time a management position opens up at work, even if I don't like the position because I'll at least get a good interview experience out of it and can put on future resumes that I was offered a management position and turned it down
Tentative goals:
>Either grow my hair out and stop dying it OR shave it, haven't decided yet
>Move out of my parents' house – would like to have a decent amount saved up before then and having my own car is a financial priority, so maybe not till the end of the year
Unrealistic goals:
>Stop buying games and just play one of the hundreds I own (just lol, thanks Steam sales)
>Go back to school (can't see it happening)

>Finish school instead of quitting again.

>>645845>>645860>>649660>>705319>>705745>>705818I don't mean to put anyone down, but these (as well as many other replies on this thread) seem very demanding. armchair but humans tend to overestimate their own capacities, which serves to push us to do more, but if you're not realistic with your expectations you might end up with more anxiety and disappointment instead of pride over personal achievements.
I think that for all sorts of achievements, be it in academia, health, work or in any sector whatsoever it is better to start small, and then use the positive feelings of achieving the smaller things to snowball into bigger projects.
Last New Years my resolution was to learn how to cut my own hair. The first few times produced piss poor results, but it gave me the incentive to better my skills in order to not have my hair look like that of a genderspecial retard. I concentrated and finally got results that suited me, and in the meanwhile I had gotten used to concentrating on myself for a good hour at a time. I then started using that same energy to focus on my skin, then on exercise, then on organizing my living space….
I am ending this year in a more positive setting and with more life skills than I could have imagined a year ago, and the process has been very organic. If I were to challenge myself to learn all of this from the first day of this year, I would have had too much anxiety to start and would probably felt defeated mid-year after not having performed up to my ridiculous standards. Also, I would never challenge anyone else to learn the same things in a year, it would seem unfair.
tl;dr rome wasn't built in a day & being kinder to yourself when it comes to personal development is good
