Hopes and goals for 2021

2020 was a rough year for most of us. It was a really dark time for me and I know I had it relatively easy compared to a lot of people. I’m really grateful that I was able to get through this year and I’m feeling really hopeful and optimistic for 2021. I just got an office about two weeks ago and I’m really excited to expand my professional cuddling business. I’m hoping I can regain some control and normalcy over my life by having a hosting location and a set schedule. I am working with a trainer starting tomorrow and I’m really hoping to lose the weight I gained during the pandemic and to get back in shape. What are some of your hopes and goals for 2021?

    2020 sucked in many ways . But to be honest just because the calendar reads 2021 does not mean we wont have covid , racial injustice , social tension , crime , corrupt police forces , poverty, anxiety , depression, and all the other fun things that made 2020 a warm bag of human waste. True there will be someone else in the White House, but that doesn't mean the world gets a reset button . And honestly I am pretty anxious to see what nut bags the previous admin has spawned and what they will be doing to protest and spread their worldview since their hero will likely be forced to vacate kicking and screaming in January.

    @pmvines ~ same 😬

    Addition ~ I really hope I can get some extreme adulting done! There's so much to do in order to move forward!! It's overwhelming and hard to start/keep going. But here's to hoping for successfully pulling it together in 2021!!!

  • I really hope I can move out of my parents house and then go out and party again

  • I'm just hoping to inject some LIFE back into my life, I've been missing that adventurous spark that makes me... ME so I'm going to do some work on the inner walls and try to get back to actually living as opposed to just surviving the day.

  • Amazing post !!

    For 2021 I hope that businesses & and ge economy open back up (I miss going to a spot for a delicious bite & drinks with friends or my movie theater escape which I love soo much)

    I hope that the hiring freeze at my job ends & that they hire more people) we have been overworked tremendously & wayyy too much o.t. .... more money doesn’t mean anything if quality of life is suffering

    I hope to get back to the gym for a solid 3-5 months to be at my my personal best - work life / shutdowns / odd gym times & having to wear a mask are all barriers to accomplish my fitness goals, I hope that the majority of the population takes the vaccine for the reason of everything returning back to normal & I hope this “new normal” isn’t permanent !!

    Most importantly I hope that my presence continues being appreciated & a light to others / regardless if they are family / my friends / co-workers - or wonderful people online

    Indeed, I'm taking kind of a "wait and see" approach here as there are too many unknowns, both with Covid and with some family issues.

    Maybe vaccinations will be widely distributed very soon, concerns about Covid will recede, and 2021 will be a pretty normal year. Or maybe I'll spend a huge chunk of the year still in some kind of Covid-related lockdown.

    One solid thing I can say is that I'm going to get back in shape, even if I have to work out at home. Pre-Covid I was in pretty great shape, but at the moment, not having gone to a gym in months, I'm in probably the worst shape of my life. That's definitely going to change.

  • @CuddleMeLater I wish I could do your same approach as far as at home training, for some reason I just want & need the gym, best of luck with your fitness journey 👊🏼

    @pmvines Everything that you listed other than Covid has been around long before 2020. Because of Covid a lot of the inequalities in our society were highlighted but they were always there. I believe the Covid situation will improve of course it won’t go away the second the ball drops it would be nice if it did.

  • Personally I feel like the world really needed a reset. I have taken the time to work on my home and healing. I miss getting out and doing what I want to do but I have learned to be more grateful for what I have and for my friends and family. Looking to the future and working on my fitness routine. I am looking forward to being able to travel again!

  • @xandriarain I hope it gets better too with the vaccine and that enough people get the vaccine to diminish the spread for sure

  • [Deleted User]cualtzin (deleted user)

    I hope to regain my sense of humor. I seem to have misplaced it. So busy being serious this year.

  • I hope I get my dream career, I've been working out trying to figure that out and I don't know exactly what it is I'm meant to do on this blue and green Earth.

    I would also like to get in shape. I believe in you @xandriarain ! I haven't been to the gym lately for COVID fears but there are workarounds that I can implement to stay in shape.

    Would like to improve my cooking skills and eat healthier, get my sound system tuned to my liking. Gotta get some work done on the car at some point.

  • As pmvines said, I feel like things don't suddenly start to get better with a new year. I just hope things eventually do get better.

    I don't really do hope or optimism. But for the sake of this thread, I'll say that a hope of mine is to not get stabbed at work, and a goal of mine is to get into the Arkham Horror LCG, while continuing to expand @DarrenWalker's collection of Eldritch Horror stuff.

  • [Deleted User]DarrenWalker (deleted user)

    Personally, I hope @UltimateChungus achieves his goal.

  • I intended to write 'none'. I have serious difficulty in thinking about the future or making plans more than a day or so ahead. I can put something in the diary/calendar if somebody tells me to, but that's about it.

    However, it slowly became apparent to me, as I read through the thread, that I do have hopes and dreams. Not particularly for 2021, but that is the year before us.

    I hope to kick misogyny off this forum. I hope to double the number of enthusisast women on CC. I hope to increase the revenue of CC by a bit. I hope the people I have met in real life from this website continue to be friendly with me.

    I hope to repair a certain damaged relationship (small r). I hope to get my heating fixed, and the bathroom sink. I hope to buy some new clothes. I hope to dispose of my Christmas tree properly, that's a good one. I hope that the washing machine doesn't explode, or the telly die, and that are no big expenses.

    I hope my former partner, who has recently moved back into the area, doesn't persecute me. I hope not to get kicked out of my therapy group.

    I was tempted to write that I hope to go for a walk without somebody inviting me, but that's too much to hope for.

    I hope that I don't run out of money. Although, perhaps, I hope that I do.
