I’ll keep adding to this list of things I’m proud of finally doing in 2024. Life is hard. But I shouldn’t make it harder for myself.

4. I have held myself accountable for not texting people back and set up Read receipts. It’s annoying accidentally clicking on a message and needing to respond… but it’s the only way to get me to be better. My friends appreciate my responsiveness and it prevents procrastination.

3. I complained about having an Android. Losing my phone forced me to finally get a new phone so I did need a catalyst but I’m proud of myself for investing in a device I’m excited and proud to use.

Yes it’s cheesy but as someone who struggles with her relationship with money I’m proud of myself.

2. I finally started therapy again a few months ago. Looks like my workplace will stop covering it next year (and I’m unhappy about that) but I’ve made so much progress.

1. I was tired of my PMS/potential PMDD symptoms and they’ve been affecting my sleep, my relationships, my work and focus. Today I finally went to my ObGyn and we discussed some solutions.

And I get I wasn’t really flaked on, it’s more like… the societal norm is to expect that if you haven’t heard an update on something then it’s probably not happening

Am I just naive? My therapist says I come off as desperate for friends so it could be that too.

She had her reasons I guess but I spent days prepping and I collected a ton of magazines and craft supplies 😭

I still intend to write down my goals. Even if it’s just on this app so I can reflect on them next year.

And if you’re an anxious person I feel like it’s so much worse? Overthinking why they cancelled and why they won’t share details and wondering if you’re the problem? And then being too scared to ask because you don’t want to impose while they’re going through a tough time 😕
