Looking back, I have achieved nothing. gained nothing but "wisdom" over this past year. Stagnation is death.
What about you guys? Did you manage to progress in this past year in any way shape or form?
I have learned to pretend to be high-class. I have also learned how to trust uncertainty and not care about having a mountain of unsolved problems. I started delegating my work more. Somehow people seem to believe the BS I say... And then they work. I have no idea how that happens but I can see the results.. I also had an "epiphany" earlier this year.... I've learned to do less...
There are parts of me that I care less about now which I'm not proud of. But it's been a good year.

Self-improvement is masturbation.
This was a great year for me, the best of my entire adult life I would even say. I saved a lot of money by working OT and even though I hated working at the time, all those hours have allowed me to go to school full time without working now.
I got my Associate's degree and got into one of the top research universities in the country, with a partial scholarship, then got to move across state with my soulmate. I was able to quit a job I hated, and start a company doing something I loved.
I also this year have become skilled in the arts of making stock/broth, soups, curries, and alfredos. I spent the year with the most wonderful person I've ever met and the cutest lil chicken nugget you've ever seen. I grew some yummy potatoes in a pot. My love and I reeeeeally embraced "pumpkin everything" this autumn which was both fun and yummy.
Went on a fun vacation to NYC. Got to introduce my life partner to my siblings and all of my extended family down south- and they all love her ^.^
I think this year was great because it included many personal accomplishments as well as meaningful time spent with loved ones.
10/10 year and it looks to be getting better from here ♡
In 2018 I had a feeling that 2019 would be an ugly but succesful year and it came to be true. I made close to 200k and blew almost all of it, travelled 5 countries, met alot of fucked up but also very interesting and cool people, broke into the mobile app development industry and closed 4 succesful projects, and had a child which I will soon meet in Tijuana because i cant come to the US kek
My biggest achievemnt is that I was able to make a couple of thousands in a single month in a honest way, no scamming or fraud, just using my programming talents, intelligence and hard work, just to prove myself I could do it. Its boring and slow though so its back to roaching. Not alot of people are capable of making decent earnings with their hobbies and talents which makes me feel really special.
The second biggest achievement is that I have managed to become emotionally independent, I no longer cling on the first person I meet and get em to meet my family and marry em because I am trying to lock them down because I will be depressed and hate myself without them. I dont rely on others to make me feel special and loved anymore which is a HUGE chance from last year. I feel bad about ditching my korean gf but whatever.
Good things, made great strides in personal life thanks in part to sobering up, and found a new professional twist which I'm enjoying. I'd say that 95% of my depression is gone and continues to fade. I feel content most days and am at the stage where I can look back at the past 5 years as a youthful struggle of sorts. However I'd prefer not to have that define me for much longer, there's so much more to explore and I'd like to think I'm more than the lessons I learned from the past. If that makes sense.
I'm glad to hear it's been a nice year for others too, let's hope 2020 bears many fuits as well! As for User, I think your realisation is already a sign of things to improve, you clearly are bothered by your perceived lack of progress so if anything, that may be a catalyst for improvement :)
