I thought I'd start this off. There were years where I didn't have any resolutions because that was normie and cliche, but now I find it to be acceptable to myself to formulate a few goals and trajectories.

For myself:

Goals
- Lose 30 lbs and maintain at 170 (I've already lost 25)
- New career remote job

Trajectories
- Write more non-journal stuff
- Develop cooking skills more
- Develop reading comprehension more (I read enough but I'd like to get more out of it)
- Develop coding ability
- Understand technology better
- Develop prayer life more and church attendance
- Utilize free time for hobbies and interests more
- More involved parenting
- Natural foods
 
My biggest ones as of writing are:

- Get some lingering mental health stuff under control
- Find some like-minded people (friends)
- Transition into a career where I am around like-minded (Christian) people
- Stop wasting time and get the things I've been neglecting done
- Get some hobbies that aren't just escape mechanisms
- Find a Church where I will feel like I belong
- Improve my memory

Haha...yeah. I hate New Years resolutions. Sure sign that someone's not serious about losing weight or whatever it is. Good on you if you're an exception, but for the most part if someone is serious about making some important change in their life they don't wait until an arbitrary date on the calendar to start.

I think a lot of my bitterness comes from having to skip the gym for the first two weeks of every January because it's unusable due to the hordes of new years resolutioners. By January 15th it's always back to normal.
