Some of mine are: reading 52 books, going for a walk at least once a week, getting a new piercing, and doing my budgeting every week instead of waiting multiple weeks, etc etc

What’s everyone else’s? Maybe comrades with similar goals can be accountability buddies blob-no-thoughts

    Trans my gender more, maybe start HRT (I had a stupid hallmark ass movie christmas involving reconnecting with my also non binary formally somewhat estranged sibling, which was nice and put things in perspective but also a whole thing)

    Stick to the bare minium government recommendations on alcohol. No more than 10 standards a week, no more than 4 in a setting etc. Found I’ve been drinking more when stressed.

    Engage in the local queer Bdsm scene where I’ve moved. Maybe attend events with my partner. Would really like to do some modelling for someone else. Not sure how feasible that is but could put feelers out there.

    I’m hoping to upgrade my rower and use my time to exercise slightly less but better. Some months I’ve been doing 7hrs a week of bike or rower. I want to get that to just 5hrs of rowing at a regular time.

    Read more. I’m hoping if I get my exercise in during the morning I’ll have more time for reading.

    Here’s my list, in no particular order and I’d be thrilled if I even achieve just one:

    • Finally get a full-time job again and move out of my parents (and far away from my hometown) for good.

    • Get skilled in something that isn’t vidya or media consumption. (It could be learning an instrument, actually figuring out some technology skills, art, just anything)

    • Stop seeing life like a piece of media and also stop mourning my childhood essentially. It’s over. Time to make the most of adulthood.

    • Get some IRL friends and try to be a normal 20-something for once.

    • This is embarrassing to admit, but still important: I want to improve my hygiene: Have a skincare routine, actually learn how to take care of myself and take care of my hair and teeth before anything expensive catches up to me. Autism is impacting my quality of life, but I do at least have the free will to overcome my psychic blockages for lack of a better term.

      I feel this, but remember - adulthood is what you make it. You will never have endless free time again, but you can bring some of your favorite hobbies from childhood into your adulthood. I feel like that fills the void for me. Good luck!

      I always recommend people to learn playing the guitar. It’s relatively cheap, you just need to make one investment in the beginning. You can learn it by yourself using the resources from the internet or you can take a few lessons in the beginning. Learning to play it is relatively easy, you can make a lot of progress in just 2-3 months. Most of pop music is simple so you just need to learn some basic chords in order to play a lot of songs. Learning the guitar will make it easier to learn other instruments if you want. And of course you can then play in a band if you wish, which is the most fun part of it cat-vibing

    • Consistent bass practice schedule. On the 30th and 31st, I already pushed myself super fucking hard. I practiced 6 hours on the 30th (no joke) and 2 hours on the 31st. It was really just an extreme “test,” but I’m probably gonna start with 1 hour and try to build up a longer duration of practice with time.
    • A stable job… 🤞🏿
    • Some more piercings and tatts hopefully
    • Move further into androgyny hexbear-non-binary
    • Continue the whole “listen to at least one album (one LP or two EPs) I’ve never heard before every single day” thing. I didn’t miss a single day when I started on January 1st, 2024.
    • Further my relationship with my dear 💚💚💚

    I’m too depressed for goals but I really hope you all achieve these aspirations next year. If you post here, you believe in something real, so you can live for a real purpose, so you can achieve these goals. Cheers.

    I guess I’ll list mine:

    • move over to WFPB veganism and move away from junk food veganism.
    • focus on finishing unmasking as an autistic person
    • figure out how I want to present as enby agender
    • finish my anarchist theory reading block and jump back into Lenin and Marx
    • Get my freelance web development thing off the ground and actually get paying clients.
    • Get my PSL branch off the ground

    Get back into playing guitar. It’s been about 5-6 years since I’ve picked up an instrument. Played regularly from 14-28, was even in a band. Ended up selling all my instruments because I was poor.

    Just bought this for $180.

    Gonna get a boss katana 50 and see how it goes

    Also gonna get back into drawing. Haven’t drawn since I was a kid. Seems like a fun, calming hobby. Thinking about just doing graphite or pen and paper.

    Genuinely I need some discipline. When I was in a relationship it kind of kept me grounded, but when I’m single I tend to…. Slip. I have a pretty active job but I want to get back into swimming, try and make sure I eat a lil healthier, quit vaping again, cut back on drinking. Nothing crazy, just pull myself back into line a bit.

    I started therapy a couple of months back, I’m interested to see where that takes me this year.

    I just got approved to rent an apartment so I’ll be living alone (no family, housemate or partner - except my cat I guess lol) for the first time ever, so I’m kinda excited to make the place my own. I have almost no furniture so it’s a blank canvas. Although it will take me a while to get stuff because I have no money lol. On the same note I need to manage my finances a little better, try and finally finishing paying off my debt (I have maybe a thousand to go), maybe even god forbid start saving something.

    Plus I want to be more inspired and disciplined with my organising work. I’ve been doing it for five years now and in 2024 I felt so burned out, and so did the rest of the organisation tbh. I want to be a better comrade and hopefully enable my comrades to be better as well.

    So yeh, I’m not really setting huge unrealistic “resolutions”, but I just want to be a marginally improved person and communist. And a better friend tbh, some of my friendships stalled out last year, I’ve started to reconnect with some people.

    Work on my fitness goals, grind up my language learning game, go Vegan, complete the 30ish works of theory I have left in my “essentials” list (personal), and become a more chill person in general.

    Wanna’ do an LSD Dream Emulator playthrough where I play a single dream every day because the game ends after 365 stages so it should end by New Year’s Eve 2025.
