In 2050 I'll be omg that old???

There’s something really trippy about 2025, and its because it ends in 5. Its easier to do math. Its also because COVID was unfortunately in a year that ends in 0 ! So its also easier to do THAT math. + the idea of 5 year plans, and everything THAT entails.

Anyhow on New Years Eve I asked my twenty-one year old cousin what his goals for the year were, and he shrugged and mumbled “none.” I then proceeded to ask him what his dreams were in general for life and he said “none.” I gasped.

I’m sorry but that is SAD and CONCERNING. Being 21 and having no dreams? As a person who is clouded and almost paralyzed by the ridiculous amounts of dreams that I have per day, those comments really devastated me.

So regardless of all the absurd overwhelming things on the internet right now.

WHAT I’M LEAVING BEHIND

10 THINGS I WON’T BE DOING IN 2025

NEW YEAR NEW ME

It’s borderline addictive imagining a new you with all the help from the new age, influencer water hose, self-help content tornado. However because I am very overwhelmed by it and also annoyed. I will only be participating in this.

5 things I’m going to try to incorporate more into my life this year.

1. Don’t go more than two consecutive days without working out.

   1. I will move, move, move like the wind.

   2. But mostly because of my mental health not because of physical results (cough cough)

2. Every first meal of the day must be savory.

   1. Yes, I’d like to devour french toast first thing when I wake up everyday but one my body is allergic to carbs, two beware glucose spike!

3. 1x per week I must go on at least one date.

   1. I will stop my aversion towards apps and shift my mindset of them being time sucking, soul destroying inventions that only keep me further away from love to them being catalysts of opportunity and new encounters.

   2. Apparently someone said you should have a 12 person pipeline, HAHA good luck to me the indecisive libra.

4. 1x a month schedule a work related coffee meeting with someone I think is doing cool things

   1. Worst scenario I meet someone who thinks I’m completely wasting their time and life, best scenario I make a new friend and possible new connection. By the end of the year I could have 7-8 new connections.

5. Call one family member from my extended family per week

   1. Prioritize by age!

   2. + bonus points if I call a random friend and talk to them for 8 minutes

6. 1x per month do a 24-hour tech free day

   1. To think. Listen. Sit in silence.

Because I am a Libra there are a million and one things I want to do this year but I’m trying to focus on the foundational small things that serve as good boards for the other wild things swimming around in my brain. Because I regardless of age/life circumstances/state of the world still do dream.

Do you?
