And so 2023 comes to an end. Where the fuck did this year go? I already talked about my year in A Retrospective, so let’s talk today about what’s to come.
My goal this year is to get uncomfortable in absolutely all levels of my life. I don’t have like a resolution to go to the gym or learn a new skill or anything similar. I only have a plan of getting as uncomfortable as possible.
My life in the last two years has been pretty calm. I am still at the same job, I work both from home and the office, I have my little routine for my work days where I wake up, eat breakfast, work, come home, workout, read a book and go to bed. It’s not the same every day but it’s same most days. On the weekends I am usually with my boyfriend and then I go back to work on Monday.
I did have a good year travel-wise and I did do a lot of work on myself in 2023 but now it’s time to shake things up a bit. I am tired of the safe-zone and the same safe choices. I want to get rid of the fear of change. Whenever I think about doing something new or changing something significant in my life, there is this fear that stops me and I want to learn how to overcome it.
I think I built a pretty good foundation for myself and that it’s time to have a little more faith in my own skills, abilities and journey.
The only defined goal I put for myself is publishing “Little Rebellion”, a book I’ve been working on for a very long, long time and I have had issues finishing it because I constantly go back to rewrite the same thing a million times because of my insecurities about my own work. That also has to go this year. That book will be published, hopefully before we reach May.
If 2023 was my healing year, 2024 is the learning curve and the year for getting uncomfortable.
So, what are your plans for 2024?
Love,
Luna
As a Christmas gift for yourself, you can buy my book on Amazon: Rehab

I like the idea of getting uncomfortable but maybe not actually doing it. I’ll have to if I want to return to a technical position. The easy part would be to continue as I have for the past few years. I’m thinking about it a lot. We’ll see what happens. Have a great year!
This year has been very uncomfortable for us in so many ways, so we are looking for a bit of calm and sanity in 2024. Hopefully, we will find it. Happy New Year to you. Allan
What’s the new book about? Happy New Year to you too!
Ty Luna.. for this and all the rest. You’ve had a small but profoundly positive impact on my sub life as a wanna be poet. May you be adequately discomforted this year, and then, overwhelmingly satisfied with the results.
Thank you for sharing your year of getting ‘uncomfortable’. There’s a lot that resonates with my own slightly humdrum existence or at least the feeling that each days pretty much resembles the last. For me, I don’t like to make NY resolutions but if I’ve anything on my agenda, it’s to spend more time in nature and to pay attention in the way Mary Oliver describes things so eloquently in her poetry. Take care, Julian
I’ve had a pretty rollercoaster couple of years (or might I say the last FEW years), in which I have had to do an immense amount of internal work to return to my true self and start going hard towards my goals. 2024 will also be about uncomfortable strides for me, but heavy emphasis on maintaining balance and a calm sense of self. Many writing and career goals for this year, but without balance.. well we all might know how that would go! I enjoyed this post!
Excellent, rendered it nicely 👍
