I’ve been a list-making, goal-oriented particular person for many of my life. However the pandemic, my stint dwelling in a hospital, and the lack of both our cats, made me surprise what the purpose of setting arbitrary targets was. What was the purpose of something?
I spent most of my time in mattress or on my Animal Crossing island as a result of I didn’t wish to face actuality. It was an excessive amount of.
After three years of not posting goals, I’m again this yr feeling a bit extra like my outdated self once more with the assistance of my new espresso obsession and deeper friendships.

All of us have completely different seasons in life. This yr, nevertheless, I’m prepared to provide myself a mild push to do extra.

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 all the things into productiveness. Grief?
