2023 is over. I did several recaps in the year, but now for the last recap.
Let’s start by going over my goals for 2023.
- Release 2 games (1 released)
- Keep posting on this blog
- Keep my web novel going
- Release Oscar Pat 5 (DONE)
- Get monetisation on YouTube
- Read a book a month (FAILED)
- Exercise more.
That was copied from my last post.
Not much has changed.
During the time between September and now, I was mostly working.
I went on holiday for 2 weeks and explored various parts of Norway. I got to see the Northern Lights and went Kayaking in the Arctic Circle. It was a lot of fun and I would love to do it again.
But enough about that, let’s talk about the whole year.
It was hard.
2023 was hard.
I went in with ambitious goals and was surprised at the ones I completed, but also annoyed at the ones I failed.
I should have been able to read a book a month.
I should have gotten back into posting more Web Novel stuff.
I should have exercised more.
But I couldn’t.
I was hit with a massive wave of depression and social anxiety that plagued me for a long time. I was faced with a really depressing situation that just mentally killed me for around a month or so. My social anxiety reached new heights as it became the worst it has ever been and is not showing signs of calming down. It’s all going on in my head, but I’m just doing what I’ve always been doing, and battling along. I’m just moving along as I’ve always been.
Let’s hope next year is better.
Let’s talk about the good.
I’m proud that I released the final book in the Oscar Pat series.
I’m proud that I reached 1000 subscribers on YouTube (although I’m yet to reach monetisation)
I’m proud that I managed to run a 5k in under 30 minutes.
Those three things are something I’ve never done before.
I hadn’t written in a long time and started to hate everything I did, so I’m glad I could finish off the Oscar Pat Series.
I knew I would struggle to reach 1000 subscribers in a changing algorithm, but I got there and will continue to post as regularly as possible.
I’m glad I challenged myself to run that 5k, it required me to do more running regularly and I want to run a 10k in 2024.
As for next year, you’ll have to check out the later post for that.
I’m not going to make this long, because I broke this year down into 4 separate posts.
You can find them here;
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4 (This one).
This year sucked, but we keep going.
Thank you for reading. Let me know in the comments how your goals for 2023 went and if you reached them.
As I said, at the end of December I’ll have a post with my goals for 2024, so be sure to follow that along with all my other End Of Year posts.
