Last weekend, my husband and I spent 36 minutes sorting out our harvest for 2023 and planning for 2024.
Looking back, 2023 is already about to wave goodbye to me, and my third natal Year of the Rabbit is about to pass.
2023 is also a very meaningful year for me. If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be the famous quote from Friends: welcome to the real world
As we face the new year, we always hope that everything will go as expected.
But when I faced the end of the year, looking back on this year, I was surprised to realize that those bumpy roads and potholes and ditches have an aftertaste that is worth analyzing.
Job. In the first half of the year, the business trip to expand the product, recruitment, exhibition, busy, wind, although this year's food is still accumulated last year, but really experienced, paid, even if this direction is not right, it will definitely leave clues in your mind and experience.
In a short period of time, the results are meaningful, such as the businesses making money, and the verification is cognitive correctness.
In the long run, the process is more meaningful, and the ravines left by these clues to my life constitute my wisdom and courage.
That's why I don't like to work like water, but I like to challenge myself, and while the loot is good, the feeling of winning is more fascinating.
The child is enrolled.
As an I-person, I cried on my first day of elementary school and refused to go to school.
My son, a big E person, did not inherit my school anxiety at all, and after I learned that he went to school every day to make trouble in the heavenly palace for a month, I once suspected that it was a baby, and finally I began to use patience and tolerance to probation, and Monkey King became a primary school student who could attend classes in a proper manner.
In the end, it may not only be the child who changes, but also me, as an adult, I have learned to treat him as a friend, and if you look at him as an adult, he will really be more like an adult.
I moved once in the middle of the year, and the commute to work changed from a five-minute one-way drive to a one-hour drive, or a one-and-a-half-hour subway drive, and the fatigue of the body began to accumulate silently in the first half of the year. Therefore, the whole Q3 is drinking Chinese medicine to regulate and cure diseases.
Q4 is a quarter in which the virus rules the whole family. I had a cold and fever 3 times with my child as a class, and every time he brought home a fresh virus, we started infecting each other.
I realized that people should reduce their exposure to "danger", "unhappiness", and "negativity", and you have to take the initiative to find sunshine and surround yourself with positive people.
There are many more small attempts worth documenting this year:
I started taking my baby for the weekend on my own.
Stumbling and stumbling with the baby to complete the study of raz a c.
With my child, I finally finished brushing up on the 220 words I bought when I was more than 2 years old.
Use small lists to help children develop the habit of making todo lists every day after school.
I started doing dictation
Fell in love with listening to podcasts with quality and depth.
2023 is the first year of ChatGPT. I also started working with GPT.
I fell in love with Chi Zijian, and then I threw myself into the arms of literature again.
I found that the little things in this kind of life constitute a textured life.
Of course, there were many things that didn't go well this year, but I learned anyway:
Accept that things go at its own pace;
Accept your own imperfections, procrastination;
Accepting some of the things that I value is still not progressing.
I've learned to appreciate the gray hair that comes out of me.
I learned to wrestle with my own powerlessness.
I gradually got used to using the subway as a study, reading and writing in the boring commute.
I slowly admitted and let go of what I wasn't good at and focused on what I was good at.
I still have a bunch of wishlists that I haven't started to do......
In 2023, there are still many regrets, and we can only save these regrets for 2024 to be realized.
When I'm done, I'll write it slowly. We look forward to your continued attention.
2023, this year, there are so many things worth recalling, moving, sad, and rejoicing, and finally, I want to say:
The real cheers come from the bottom of our hearts. It never comes from the outside world, it doesn't come from payroll, it doesn't come from business cards.
You really feel like you're great, that's it.
welcome to the real world!
it sucks, but you'd love it.
