I have always struggled to make meaningful resolutions for New Years, but 2024 may be different. What about you? Thoughts, goals, plans for the new year? Reflections on 2023?

I always found that those resolutions are shallow since nobody seems to mean it. We are lazy brats and only do things when we must and hardly ever when we decide we want it.

I'm bad enough with procrastinating, waiting until January to make some change in my life just sounds like a recipe for disaster... and so I jump on it ASAP, assuming I have anything to jump on - right now the biggest problem I have, the problem that underlies everything else, is that I don't much want anything, and I don't know how to fix that 🫤

I’ve never really been one to formally make resolutions. The universe has always had a funny way of steering me in the direction of opportunities to evolve.

2023 was quite profitable (for my standards), and I hope I get a real job this 2024 (which is a pretty solid possibility).

I've never particularly been interested in New Year's resolutions or thought they're particularly rational, because you can make a new resolution any day you want to, and the New Year's is just an arbitrary date set on an arbitrary calendar separated by an arbitrary number of days of the year determined by an arbitrary distance of the earth from the sun.. so making New Year's resolutions seems like it comes from an overly socialized/hive mentality. Well, that and I have no discipline or goals. =P

I’ve always been more of the mind to just make a change when you see the need to and not really a set time. but there’s always things I want to improve on. I’d like to find some form of exercise that I can tolerate that’s indoors while it’s cold here. I’d like to write in a journal and mood journal more than 10 times in 2024.
