24 GOALS FOR 2024

I don’t remorse taking a couple of years off. I’m glad I broke from the Western capitalistic mentality, the place you flip every little thing into productiveness. Grief? Turn that into productiveness, too! Because society says throwing your self at work is far more acceptable than a depressive episode.

I’m sharing objectives once more as a result of I get extra accomplished with some public accountability. However, this yr is just about doing greater than final yr, not attending to 100% completion. When I’m too goals-focused, I lose sight of the essential issues, like spending time with individuals (our cats are our individuals, too).

I centered an excessive amount of on my age and always instructed myself my climbing was going downhill, however I didn’t give myself sufficient credit score for climbing once more after injuring my heel after a nasty fall. This yr, I’m going to pave my very own path, uncover new hobbies, and say f*ck ageism. I don’t must imagine what society says is age-appropriate. I’ve at all times been non-traditional, in any case.

Recap of Last Year

Also, this yr, greater than ever, I’m studying my reminiscence is unreliable.
