    I've never been very enthusiastic about new year's resolutions, because if something is important enough for a resolution, there's no need to wait for the new year. But it's a good time to reflect, and all the things people have written here are inspiring. I don't have any goals, rather a need to be going in a good direction. So, I'll let my resolution be to stay on the Path, creating happiness, joy, and meaningful connections wherever I can.

    This is a great idea! I definitely appreciate people and don't tell them. But I can't imagine actually sending these notes. It would be so weird. Trying to imagine if someone gave me an appreciation note -- I'd probably think they were nuts or trying to flirt with me in some very awkward fashion.

    Maybe if I prefaced it with some kind of disclaimer about why I'm sending the note. And/or give them some idea of how or if to respond. It almost feels like fishing for a compliment, like "I said something nice about you, now your turn."

    Apart from trying to get my novel published and to continue working on my next I aim to start HRT this year. I'm also looking at building my confidence with who I want to be and maybe moving into doing drag. To do that I need to concentrate on some of my looks (which I'm uncomfortable with) and definitely get better at doing my own make up.

    @nerdbrain , you are so right! it feels awkward and strange at first. But the few times I tried it, people really seemed to appreciate it. It just needs to be be sincere. I'd send a message and say something like, "I was just thinking about when you said <something>, and I just wanted to say thanks, because that turned out to be really helpful for me". I think at first it feels awkward at first just because it's something we're not in the habit of doing.

    My 2019 Goals:
    1. to be fully out
    2. to be actively dating

    I would like to have a boyfriend but I think it's important to date a little first and have a couple of sexual experiences.

    I don't know what is my goal in 2019. I would like to make a list of it, I really worry about my life.
    But the number one is my wife understand that I am a gay and I need space to be myself.
    Now I am really frustrated with my life and wife.
