We are coming up to the end of this decade... Are you where you thought you would be? Can you think of any positives changes that you have been putting off? Where would you like to see yourself go this next decade?

Answering for myself; Things haven't quite gone to plan. I knew that I would be in college, but I thought that I would at least have a plan in place for what I want to do with my life. That, unfortunately, has not been the case. I have been very lazy at times and not as productive as I would like. That being said, I have already begun to make some healthy changes in my life, and it feels great.

Going forward in the 2020s, I am going to try being more assertive and proactive in steering my life in the direct I want. Although I am not currently certain on where that will lead me, I know I won't be happy staying where I am forever. I am also hoping to eat better and to listen to my body more. That means sleep when I need sleep and eat when I feel hungry.

How about yourselves?

edit: didn't notice that there was already a thread like this started. I am not sure if I need to ask a mod to move it to a different forum or not. Sorry about that.

I don’t focus on the future or past too much... just the present. That being said, I’m about to graduate university and so I would like to move out and get an apartment of my own. I plan on working for a year and then achieving my dreams of becoming a professional sports journalist, an author, and a landowner. That being said, who knows what will happen. No one can tell what the future holds.
 
Just thinking of the future and where I'll be stresses me out haha. I prefer just to focus on myself in the present moment. I'm hoping though, to get a raise at work. :)
 
I would like to get to my target weight, reach my target employment, and in general become better as a person. :)
 
I guess I want to finish university :) I don't really make plans because I try to reach my goals everyday. It's difficult to say okay next here. I did this already sooo often and it never worked out! So no more goals for a new year.
 
I am hoping that my job will become significantly less stressful in 2020. I've recently been placed on a new team and that seems to be working out for me, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that once things really get started up after the holidays it remains the way it is now.

I'd also like to continue exercising and lose some more weight.
 
My life has been going through a lot of changes in the last year or two, but even with the bad I have been trying to grow from it. Next year I'm getting married, Alex and I will finally get our own place, and we'll be financially stable. I've also been more intentional about how I use my time online nowadays, limiting myself and using it more productively where appropriate.
 
Well, with the things that have happened in my life over the course of 2018 and 2019, it didn't just teach me a lot of lessons about life/people, I also learned about myself. I learned how I handle these situations- how I react- and what I do to change them. I was mostly happy with how I'd changed. But in the ways I changed in a negative light, I know I have to undo. I feel like I have to go back to being my old self in a sense. Which I know I can do. It's only a matter of time. :D

At least this year has been able to clear up some uncertainty about how I want to live my life in the future. I've got a vauge outline of my plans now. All I have to do is get me back on track.
 
I really can't remember all that far back, maybe I should start keeping a journal :/

I don't think anythin significant happened this year. I think the one thing I did this year was try to stick to drawing more. I can't say I've improved any, I've been all over the place with drawing. This year, like later in they year, I got into plants and tried my hand at keeping them alive. I've had a Tilodwkfqng1rmg for months now that refuses to die. I've killed some other plants by forgetting to water them. But my collection of plants has grown to a few already, a pothos, 2 tildwifk1eg2nrhn, 3 succulents, a flamingo flower that I really like, a cactus and maybe some others I'm forgetting. Also like 7 mini pumpkins cause DAMN thoae things last MONTHS if you don't carve them. My last pumpkin almost lasted me a year before getting funky spots on it.

But, that's really all I can think of that makes this yest different from last year. More plants and more drawing.
 
I'm hoping to break away from my family's toxic lifestyle. More specifically, my dad's. I don't want to grow up miserable like him, blaming all my problems on everyone else like he does. I've already kinda started to do this by coming home less and less while at my college dorm (this past semester I only came home once for a few hours between summer and thanksgiving break). I know my mom doesn't like that, but the longer I can stay away from my dad and his pessimistic view of everything, the better off my mental health will be.

Also, on a few smaller notes, two of my main goals for 2020 are to get my license and open a savings account to start saving some money. They're simple goals that will hopefully allow me to move out once I graduate in 2021. :)
 
I’m hoping to lose lots of weight for my brothers wedding , eat healthy because it’s important, decorate my bedroom and make it Harry Potter themed because my bedroom doesn’t have a theme at the moment and I really like Harry Potter, help mum more with chores, clean my bedroom myself because it’s my room. :)
 
Well, since not getting a contract renewal at my job, I am unemployed. I would like to find another job with more hours and paying more money than I was making. Once I have that in place, I would like to make a move-out plan.
 
Generally i just wanna be a better person and protecting myself better from negativity
 
I want to live a little healthier, improve my mental health, pursue my ambitions and not let my determination fade, sleep easier, and stop letting my subconscious torture me with the mistakes and failures of the past. Although, I have a feeling the final one will be the hardest to achieve; still, it's gotta happen.
 
My life already changed massively this year. I started my first job in the life sciences and met the person I want to spend my life with. I also developed better habits (use my time more wisely, drink less, socialise more, etc); fully embraced my sexuality/gender; cut toxic people out of my life; and as a whole feel I've become a much better person.

So in the next year I intend to continue bettering myself. I'm also planning to make more time for creative outlets. I specifically want to get into making clothing and jewellery.
 
Lose some fat in certain places, cut off some people, try to take more care of myself instead of listening to others too much(if it makes sense).

I wanna say exercise more but due to the first half of the year I have to study AND work so that ain't gonna happen lol.
