New Years Resolution for 2024
2 years ago
I only got one. Everything else I could possibly think of are all goals already existing for years and that'll take years of ups and downs anyway.
What I want to actively improve on is to catch up on my reading.
Recently I realized the reason for how far I fell back on reading compared to how I used to, was cuz for years I heavily relied on public transport to and from work and/or school, recess and breaks.
Once I had to give up work due to chronic illness I lost a lot of the typical reading time I so heavily relied on. Attempts to just sit down and read at home too often lead to me falling asleep into a nap due to the chronic fatigue. Or I felt forced to focus on more "practical" things I needed done while I could still stay awake and focused.
Or pain was just too distracting to focus on reading.
I'll try to make up for it, for I do miss reading and keeping up with a good story, whether it be a physical book, ebook or a fanfic.
I'm still finding the balance in new routines after having to retire at the age of 35, moving back to my home region to be close to family and find things to do, to keep from just curling up into a ball and give up. Gotta keep moving, gotta keep whatever levels of activity I still got left. No reasons to make all that NY resolutions, had to work on that anyway, and will hafta keep on either way until I die.
So Imma just note I wanna read again. And see where it goes.
I hope ya'll had a happy holidays, whatever you celebrate or if you don't, may you have had a blessed time. May the new year have mercy on us all, and just know - No matter what, I'm proud of you.

I did that one this last year myself (Also for almost the exact same reasons), required myself to do at least 10 pages a day. It worked out really well, knocked out something like 9-10 books.
