Happy new year

Happy New Year Jen!

What do I want to leave behind? I want to leave behind feelings of obligation I have to other people when they haven't done anything I should be obligated about. A lack of self confidence. And being afraid of not being good enough.

What do I wish for? Main thing is peace in this complex, struggling world--and especially that people will wake up and realize how important it is to take care of the animals and that I will have strength to have a voice and make a difference.
 
Happy New Years JennisAutistic , have been seeing your vids off and on . Keep on doing your thing please . The videos give me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Am hoping to leave the entire year behind , Was pretty stressful.
And I am hoping for a better year for myself . And everyone on this here site😁
 
A very Happy New Year to you. 2025 was actually a pretty good year for me, my second full year of sobriety and building a positive and stable life. I'm just going to continue on with that in 2026 and hit that 3rd year.

I am going to try to leave behind the urge to offer information which could be misconstrued as gossip. It's one of those weird quirks that is hard to explain but at its roots is people pleasing/masking. This is something that is mostly prevalent at the office where in those interoffice conversations at break/waiting for others to show up for a meeting, etc. there will be that chit chat that is expected. I have a hard time sometimes, not sharing things about aspects of other peoples jobs/departments that should be best left to them to bring up. I view it as just facts, and trying to help out by making sure everyone is aware of issues at hand. I've been told there is a "chain of command" and that I should just stick to my own department. Irony being my department, and my role in particular is there to assist all the departments. Office politics are the worst.

Most important events coming up for me...
That is a tough question. I don't have any specific important events planned yet...

Disability benefits where I live get lowered this summer, and lots of people will be kicked off disability benefits entirely....which is scary.

This is probably going to be a year of many big changes in my life...But I don't know yet what all of those changes will be. And I don't know yet if any of them will be positive changes.

What do I hope for....
I hope for safety and offline support.

I hope to grow my ability to find strength in compassion (compassion for both others and myself).

I hope for hope itself.

What do I want to leave behind...
I want to leave behind all the fear that kept me victimized for a long time.
 
Most important to come? - Being better / doing better. Some film festival appearances. A live event or two. Possibly the first live show of my music project, Stationals.

What do I hope for? - I hope I don't screw anything up or make bad mistakes (especially not spotting red flags in any possibly new people wanting to befriend me).

What to leave behind? - Just all that is unnecessary and/or stress from anything / anyone. If I don't need it, then I don't require keeping it with me going forward.
 
Happy New Year Jenisautistic
I hope your dreams and wishes are forthcoming in the new year.
l wish for 2025 to end as quickly as possible. l hope someone gets on transplant operation registry with no issues. l really want to continue on my path of strong boundaries as l am finally seeing results for standing up for myself. I want to continue with maintaining emotional regulation which also has improved greatly. And l hope for those at this forum 'good health, lots of wealth, with a topping of happiness.
 
Happy New Year, Jen.

I want to leave behind all the false habits.

I want to focus on getting back to Switzerland, a canoe trip or two, and improving my garden.
 
My goal: I started writing a book way back in 2018, but it got put aside due to work schedules. I hope to get it back out and finish it this year. It's about managing type 1 diabetes. I wanted to write the book because I devised a management method that maintains blood sugars to non-diabetic normal levels at all times, eliminating all of the many diabetic complications that go with type 1 diabetes.

Don't know how I will publish it. I suspect I will just PDF it and email it to anyone interested for free. I just hope to save someone all the multiple debilitations of diabetes. Note: it also works for type 2.
 
Happy New Year, Jen.
And to everyone here. 🥳

Most important thing I have as a goal this year is to finally get to move into the small villa my house companion has rented. It would be so much easier to keep clean and there are woods and deer in the back yard, plus a pond.

I just wish to leave the past year behind. It has not been a good year. So many health problems.
Bad news diagnosis.

What I hope for is to somehow find peace and acceptance of what I cannot do anything about regarding my health.
