My life, my hobbies, my real self

My 2020 goals!

Happy new year everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed Christmas holidays and started 2020 with a blast!

For me, 2019 was difficult but also amazing, there were many important events that changed my life, mostly for the best; of course, there was also painful stuff, but I don’t want to talk about it here.

Let’s focus on good news!

Last year’s main events were my new job, which I like so far (hopefully it will last!) and my decision to move back to my hometown after 4 years in a different city.

Both these decisions were hard to make and even more to adapt to, but even if May and June were mostly hell, when everything was done it really felt like the wisest choice; I don’t think I’ll regret it in the future, but if it happens, I think it was the best I could do at that moment, so it was still worth a try.

Let’s take a look at my last year’s resolutions, let’s see what I actually achieved in 2019:

  • Start a new job

I made it! I challenged myself with a job I’ve never done, which requires being extrovert or at least able to communicate easily with people, which seems SO NOT ME, but I really enjoy it way more than being alone in an office, working on my computer all day long. I’m glad I tried, hopefully this could really be the job of my life.

  • Move to a better city

After thinking about it for months, I chose to go back to my hometown which is a good place, even if it’s not that big; but my parents and relatives live there and I really wanted to being able to meet them more often and cherish my family more.

  • Travel to Finland

I was almost making it true on August, but I barely started working and I had a lot of expenses for the moving, so I thought it was better to wait some more. I think 2021 will be the year!

  • Improve my Finnish and Japanese, and maybe start German.

My Finnish improved for sure, my Japanese probably got a bit worse and I’ve barely started studying German lately.

  • Read at least 20 books

I reached that goal easily around August and then I read a lot more! I’m really glad I was finally able to go through a lot of great books which were collecting dust on the shelves.

  • Keep working on my blog

I could have done better, but overall I think I did a good job!

  • Make more friends

Well, at least I can say I improved my social skills, went out way more and regained a nice relationship with relatives. But I plan to improve a lot next year, I swear this is only the beginning!

If I consider it all, bad events aside, 2019 was a nice year which allowed me to improve various aspects of my life; if 2020 could be as good, I’d be happy enough.

So, it’s time to set new goals!

In 2020, I want to:

  • Completely adjust to my new life

It’s been a few months after those big changes, but I still need to improve on various aspects: I’m far from perfect in my job and relationships, I want to fully be a part of this community again, meet people I used to consider friends when I was younger and finally be able to feel โ€œat homeโ€ completely.

  • Read at least 30 books

It’s probably too optimistic, but I’d like to keep reading a lot since there’s a lot of great stuff I need to check out!

  • Play at least 10 otome games

I know it’s lower than my normal standards, but next year is going to be busy, there’s no way I can still play more than 15 as I did in the past years. But 10 is a good number, isn’t it?

  • Update this blog at least twice a month

Even if I play less, there’s a lot I’d like to share here! I have many ideas already, I hope you’ll keep enjoying this place!

  • Get married

For my readers who aren’t following me on twitter, I’m getting married on May 24rd!

I’m excited and very happy, maybe I’ll write about it here too!

  • Go to Japan

Our honeymoon trip had to be in Japan, it’s the country we both love! We’ll stay there for 2 weeks, visiting Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. I’ll write about my trip here, no doubt!

  • Go to a Nightwish concert

I’ve already bought my ticket! For me, this is exciting as my wedding, no kidding!

  • Learn German

I don’t even dream to reach a decent level in a year, since I want to improve my Japanese for the trip first and maintain Finnish, but I want to learn at least the basics.

Well, that’s all, my 2020 looks amazing and busy!

Which are your plans for 2020? Did you set your goals?

I hope your wishes will come true, have an healthy, happy and exciting year!

    Happy 2020 ๐Ÿ˜€
    Great plans you have.
    In 2020, I won’t be able to go on a trip abroad. It’s too expensive :/
    I want to continue studying Italian and, if I have more time, I want to study for JLPT test again.
    I want to read around 20 books. Get a new job. Save money like I did last year. And Play more games, watch some movies and doramas ๐Ÿ™‚

    • otomeland

      Happy new year! You also have a lot of great plans! Good luck for JLPT, if you decide to try! If you ever have Italian questions, feel free to ask me anytime! ๐Ÿ˜‰
      This is also the last year of Arashi, let’s enjoy them to the fullest!

    ๐Ÿค—2019 wasn’t great in otome release but 2020 promise to kick ass in both otome game and games releases, i’m particularly looking forward to Episodio 1926. I can’t wait to hear more info about it and see Yang all over again kyaa!

    I plan to starting to learning kanji has i can play to Olympia Soiree which promise to be a great game, finish or at least advance more in my RPG, starting training in drawing like that i can finally contribute to the cult… i mean the fandom of Pio Fiore No Banshou. And last but not least, starting my own blog, i have so much reviews than i want to wrote. But i plan to begin by reviewing Pio Fiore because this game need more promotion overseas. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ20 books that amazing, it’s reminded me than i need to go back to books and manga has a lot are taking dust somewhere in bookshelves.

    • otomeland

      Oh good luck with your 2020 goals! Learning kanji is a never ending journey, I’m still doing it now and I probably will forever… but it’s fun!
      I can’t wait to read your blog!
