2021 Is Gonna Be Better! (Goals, Aspirations, & Anything You’re Looking Forward To)

Unfortunately we're not allowed to swear on this forum, so just pick an expletive, and that was my view of 2021, lol.

i feel like 2020 was 2 years long and i'm afraid to be optimistic about 2020 ending in 2022.

taking it play by play.

I can't wait to go literally anywhere else that is not my f*cking house.

As 2021 started, so has it ended. We're quarantining due to a family member too young to be vaccinated getting covid and passing it on to another family member who WAS vaccinated. I hate it. 2021 sucked. Not as much as 2020, but it really, really sucked.

Oh, and we're allowed to swear if we want. 2021 was balls.

I didn't really get to do the things I wanted this year, for various reasons. It has been one of the worst years of my life. It slightly improved towards the end. I have had some decent therapy the last few months. Apart from that, it has really been an awful year for me.

If you had a magic wand, what would you change for this upcoming year?

I would be a lot braver and more outgoing. I'd like to have more money too

Yes those are good things, I also was thinking about being braver and more outgoing. That's very strange we both thought that! Don't you get sick benefit and PIP Benefits?

Good goals to have something similar to it. My bills are dearer now, so that's the other things I'd change, move to a cheaper home and have all my debts paid.

Ah, 2021. Last night I was musing with a friend and his wife about how at the end of 2020, everyone took a sigh of relief and thought 2021 was going to be better. For me, this last year was awful. It might have been the worst year of my life. I don't know - it's in the running. I had some doozies in my mid-20s, and also a doozy in my early 30s, too.

My years tend to have the same hopes and dreams: write something good, make good money, become an enlightened human and drop all my bullshit baggage.

I think 2022 will be more waiting and seeing how the world is for me.

My friend M has a really cool tradition for every new year. Instead of having goals or resolutions, she picks a word to define the year. Hers this coming year is going to be 'moxie.' I think she'd like to take more risks and be braver. For me, I'm not sure. Maybe grace - as in, show myself more. It's very hard for me to speak in practical terms, about what to work towards, about goals.

But grace as a theme - I dig that.

I want to start my Buddhist practices again. That's the biggest. I want to walk for exercise every day. Except those days where the snow is higher than my boots.

This is also on the radar for me. I've been on a good roll with it, but being more consistent, taking it more seriously. When I do, my life improves a bunch.
