From 2024 to 2025

2024 ended various weeks ago, not a good end of year because my family caught the flu virus, but we are better now. Today is when I have found the time to stop and think about the achievements in 2024 and what do I expect from 2025. Looking back at 2024, I think it was a good average year, maybe a little too stable but stability is a good thing.

Highlights from 2024

I have achieved a couple of things that I proposed myself last year:

• Reading more books: I have read 12 books in 2024.
• Blogging: I haven’t been writing on this blog as much as I wanted. Ten posts in a year is good, but I still need to find the right topics that I’m passionate about and I enjoy writing about, I hope that 2025 brings me more inspiration.
• Traveling: I went to Venetia for carnival and it was amazing.
• Professionally: There weren’t big changes, but at the end of the year I was stressed out with my work. All that stressful situations gave me some perspective on where I am in my career and where I want to be in the near future.
• I gained weight again this year: I need to make changes ASAP because I cant continue like this.
• My finances are good but not outstanding: I need to improve my savings and income if I want to buy a house, for example.
• My personal and family life: This is the area where I’m most satisfied. I have a loving and healthy family and my girlfriend is the love of my life. That makes up for everything else.

Goals for 2025

The next list of things are the ones I want to focus on this 2025:

• Keep my family happy and healthy: IMHO if you have a good family and friends that love you, you have almost everything you need.
• Improve my finances: I want to buy a house for me and my girlfriend soon so I need the financial power to do so.
• Travel a little bit more than the last year: This year begun really great because in the first month I have gone to Edinburgh.
• Read at least 12 books this year.
• Exercise and eat healthy: I need to put to an end this gaining weight thing. I need to focus on myself and became more fit.
• Study more: I need to focus on passing a few courses in college.
• Reduce my working hours in my full time job: because I feel that I’m losing a lot of my time seated in front of a computer and that makes me sad.
• Learn a little bit of Norwegian from my girlfriend: I’ve been wanting this for a couple of year, but it is hard to skip time together to study a language.

Conclusion

Well, not much of a post but i wanted to write in paper all the things I expect from 2025 and look back at 2024 to see for what things have been done. I hope 2025 is a good year for me and for all of us.
