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

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:
>Grow my online shop and sales to save up money for an education
>Learn to drive and take the first steps towards getting my license
>Learn to accept and be happy with my circumstances in life

Next year I’m hoping to have my house in a state where it doesn’t get cluttered so easy because I have convenient homes for everything and things are nice so I want to keep them clean.

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?
>Do better with my studies
>Improve my mental health
>Eat healthier and gain some weight/muscle
>Be more social
>Get over my ex
I'm trying to stay positive but I also don't want to disappoint myself. Good luck nonnies!

>>1820329I 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.

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.

Anons I have to have bf by the end of 2024 the pain is too much
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.

I will pass The exams.
I will graduate this shithole.
I will save up enough for dog grooming courses and finally gain some experience in the field of work I actually want to pursue.
>achievements
Nothing, 2023 was a failure of a year as was I.
Ok, I completed my Animal Crossing island so maybe that could count as an achievement..

In 2023:
>Got a pretty good job, at a place I really like
>Got transferred to another department within that same place and I am doing much better in it
>Got a free trip to a foreign country (kinda business related but still neat)
Last year was a mixed bag for me, but I guess the positives made up for it.
2024 goals:
>Make a habit of studying japanese. Hopefully pass the JLPT N2
>Exercising more (also make it a habit again), mainly walking and jump rope, sprinkled with roller skating and cruising. I hope I get down 10-15kg by the end of the semester
>Drawing more. Especially traditionally
>Decluttering and consooming less
>Applying for a scholarship
>Visiting more museums and libraries
Happy new year, nonnas! I feel like the year of the wooden dragon will be much better.

What did you achieve this year?
>finished my education>got my first well-paying job>moved away from my parents to a big city, got my first apartment>lost a lot of weight due to depression - and gained it backWhat are your plans for next year?
I thought about writing "making it through 2024 without offing myself" but I feel like this would be jinxing myself to yet another year of suffering and barely surviving. I honestly just want to feel less like dying, I'm not setting any goals because I don't want to stress myself further. They do exist inside me tho.
Ideally I also could do this
>>1826353 Doesn't have to be clubbing/dancing but being brave enough to go to cool bars in order to meet new people, who maybe even become my friends, sounds very nice.

this year i want to experience something magical that is so farfetched no one would ever believe me. i want to wake up in another dimension, one that is way better than here. if i put my mind to it, i can even develop my own magic. other than this, and if i get enough money to, i want to get braces and maybe learn how to ride a horse.
if all else fails (i don't think it will since i just know that i can do it) i will commit suicide before my birthday.

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. I've ordered pic related but I've been really hoping I could get Naltrexone. I've been to three doctors but they won't prescribe it to me. Meanwhile in Spain it's over the counter. I hate my nanny state government.

>>1844162I 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

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.
