Back in January 2023, I was unemployed and feeling very alone in a Brooklyn apartment that I was subletting from a friend of a friend. The previous summer, I had been laid off from my second job in two years. I opened LinkedIn everyday to news about massive tech layoffs and a slowdown in hiring.
I didn’t know what to do and it felt like I would never get out of that state. In that feeling, I started blogging again and posted this about my 2023 goals.
I meant to do a 2023 goal retro in December, and then a new set of goals in 2024. I never got around to the first one because I got into a relationship, I didn’t get around to the second one because it ended.
But time goes on, and I find myself in need of inspiration – so I’m back. My major goal in 2023 was to find a job. I did that. In 2024, my goal is to get out of the focus on career and job searching and back towards building a life I’m proud of and enjoying it.
