I've learned to go after what I want and let go of things that don't serve me. I tapped into my spiritual side more than ever. I met the love of my life, my cat and also got a gf. 😏 I've stood up for myself.
On the bad side I've become very unfriendly and I'm going to try to be nicer and more outgoing. I've alienated everyone out of my life again even the ones I like. I'm trying to find a balance between not getting pushed around and used while also not being world's biggest ice queen.

Make me wish 2020 is going to better,
..It’s been a shocking year...cousin is dead, best mate mum is dead, i was made homeless in July, bunch of other drama...I got hit by a car and broke my knee cap and my bike was trashed...but hey, at least I’m still kicking right? The start of the year was really good, it all started going south in April.
2020s are gonna be my decade, let’s hope...I turn 30 during that decade, the turbulent 20s are going to be over and I’ll settle down somewhere. I wanna move to Cananda once I’m like 35ish.9 -
First, I learned in 2019 that slow and steady wins the game. Instead of being impatient, ungrateful and wanting everything at once, it is better to just focus on one or two things. I guess life is not a race; it should be seen as a marathon. This applies to getting a university degree, finding the right job, weight loss goals, hobbies, learning a new language, moving into a new place, relationships, etc.
Second, this year I have looked for authenticity in friendships and I tried to have a more sustainable lifestyle. I am still figuring these things out, especially the latter. I don't want to be a social hermit though, but I feel that in my teens it was easier for me to connect with people (or back then the people I met were nicer, idk) and I often feel uncomfortable attending bigger parties where everyone you meet asks you the same damn questions.
Lastly, there is something I should really work on: I have done a technology detox a few times and it made me more productive. I think I should stop being so much on social media, watch less Youtube videos and Netflix. At the end of the day it is all such a waste of time and I have other goals like being more creative, reading books, improving at useful life skills. Often I am aware of this, but then "the addiction" starts all over again when I am listening/ watching videos while cleaning or cooking and then the rest of the day is just spoiled because I can't concentrate. If anybody has any tips to battle this, I would highly appreciate it. It is kinda funny that I am complaining about this on a forum...on the internet.

I really want to make a ‘hindsight is 2020’ joke. So i guess 2019 taught me that my transformation into my dad is pretty much complete16

What I've done... All toxic beings have been purged & I no longer suffer in order to prevent others from having to do so... even though they keep calling to get back into my good graces. They never notice/appreciate gifted time anyway, so I suffer alone, in silence. No longer. Begone gnarly beasts. That alone has given me a heavy weight lift & monumental release of stress. Putting their numbers on "Straight to voice mail" is a phone feature worth it's weight in the finest of moisturizers. Changing my number later this week will be even better.
What I've noticed... Rudeness, excessive sarcasm for no reason & hostility, across the board... parents, kids, professionals, customer service agents, people of all ages... is so rampant, I see it inflicted on others or personally encounter it daily. It's still stunning to me how manners & social graces have become lost & icy stares have infected souls. I find myself profusely thanking people for the most minor of things, e.g., doing simple tasks that are part of their jobs, holding a door, saying something pleasant.
What I will do... Put myself first & take time for myself... getting outdoors daily, yoga, begin lap swimming again, activities I like, hence my recent move to FL. Find my place in the world... search out friends, a fulfilling career, supportive relationship... all have been absent for so long, I can't recall when they last occurred.
Take better care of myself... no complaining allowed from others. I've been far too polite to let others dump their woes on me, walk away feeling grand from their hour of free therapy & leave me feeling morose. I've begun to be nicer about it... have gone from saying, "OMG, I don't care!" with frustration or anger to "You'll work it out, good luck", then exit, stage left, quickly.
That's all. It was a year of non-stop tossing out the trash, literally & figuratively.
Looking forward to 2020. Have a great ending to your year, Everyone! Be kind to yourself & better to others.10 -
I built an ugly-but-solid bookshelf
I went to Stokercon
I forged two knives outta railroad spikes
I learned very little and otherwise didn’t do much to improve myself

I've let go of people who were no longer a fit in my life.
It feels like I'm slowing down (reversing?) the aging clock. I feel incredible and have tons of energy. Life for me keeps getting better as I get older.
Hubby and I celebrated our 20th year anniversary! ❤ ❤ ❤
New work projects and opportunities has been great this year.
I discovered my love for using resistance bands and I use them almost everyday.
All of this makes me what to keep going strong as I head into my 7th year of maintenance.
Really looking forward to the 20's! ☺11 -
stay consistent
Small changes matter
Toxic people can come disguised in many ways
It's ok to not be
It's ok to be proud of yourself6 -
I ran my first full marathon...which was way out of my comfort zone.
This year I am struggling to be the strongest friend. Sometimes that is a heavy burden to carry. I'm the friend that is always asking if they are ok, which I then turn out to be the one to listen to them. No one ever asks how I am.3 -
I've made some big mistakes, but I've learned from them, and I feel like I am exiting 2019 as a much better, stronger person. Lessons: improve work/life balance to invest more time in family, re-assess ambitious career goals, be consistent, be more patient with myself.5

I put myself first.
I stopped caring what my parents think.
Switched to a plant based diet and love it.
I fell in love.
My energy is amazing. I put it out into the world and get it back. I’m manifesting everything I want in life.8 -

A LOT
I don't really want to repeat it but I appreciate it.
Meanwhile, I have my arms open and am ready for 2020 to motorboat the girls and thaw out my dead cold heart.

2019 has become a watershed year for me. The January and April implantation of new hip joints and subsequent rehab from the surgeries has done nothing less than give me a "new lease" on retirement, on life! I have begun feeling better, moving better and being happier than I have been in some time! It all has been reflected in my improved lab results and significant weight loss! The only downer for the year was the passing of a close friend. I never got the chance to show her the improved me 😥4
