    I want to focus on myself this year. That means working on my health, fitness level, and mental/emotional health too. Now that I have my career sorted out, I think I owe it to myself to treat myself to some self care :slight_smile:

    I also want to work on relationships (romantic and friendships). I feel like I’m almost ready to get back into dating, and now that I’m a bit more confident with my sexuality, I think I want to put myself out there more and see if I can meet new people.

    So those are just a couple of things that I can think of that I want to work on :slight_smile:

    I want to organize my life better. Whether that's by decluttering my room, getting a new job, working on my health and body so I can lose some weight, or planning for my future better.

    Same thing as every year: worry less, do more and try to pare the stuff down to what I actually use and enjoy.

    Here's mine in no particular order:

    - Quit smoking
    - Get my depression under control
    - Get E/Start transitioning
    - Get my eyes and/or teeth fixed
    - Come out to the rest of my family
    - Go back to school
    - Get out of the house more
    - Push myself to come out of my shell
    - Boost my confidence and self-esteem
    - Visit family in WI

    If I can accomplish even half these things, I'll consider it to have been a good year :slight_smile:

    Come out to myself.
    Accept who I am.
    Be comfortable with who I am.
    Endure and embrace what comes with me being me, and not fall into the "hiding syndrome".
    Move forward and get on with living. Even with all of the good times and the struggles.
    I am ready to spread my wings and fly.

    I would love to lose weight but I realised I think about what I want to eat for about two hours a day and only hate my weight for five minutes a day. I don't think I will get rid of food I love just to lose weight. I'm not morbidly obese yet so I'm not worried,

    • I want to make peace with the boy of my dreams eventually falling in love with someone else and hopefully find a way to stay close to him or at the very, very least remain someone he knows he can count on for support. I can't even imagine how much it would hurt to lose him at this point.

    • I want to start eating healthier (which means actually cooking for myself more often) and being a bit more active. I'm not overweight or anything but I'd like to feel better about myself.

    • Most of all, I want to find a reason to have hope for my future. Right now I'm pretty much convinced that I'm going to be an old man with no family or friends or anyone that gives a shit about me.

    Right now the most important resolution I can make would be to quit drinking, and quit smoking.

    Good luck but be careful not to start over eating. I quit smoking and gained weight because I replaced cigarettes with sugary snacks. I just now lost the last of the weight.

    I want to be more in touch with my inner self and start ignoring the distractions of modern society. I also wish to develop an aura where I don't care what other people think about me as much, and just enjoy life.

    Get back on my diet that worked so well for me in 2016. I basically stress-ate my way through 2017.

    Focus more on my mental health since I've had huge anxiety for quite a while, become more outgoing with people and be less nervous about talking to others, and overall make more actual friends in college.

    I want be less controlling and more laid back when it comes to group projects.

    Sometimes I can get so caught up with what my vision of what I want the final product to be is, that I can get carried away, when I should really ask for other's input more often. Also, I want to be less flaky when it comes to plans, and I want to prove that I'm not "scared of social situations" like my friends enjoy joking about. Maybe I'll even go out more. Join more activities perhaps... :slight_smile:
