I'd like to be a polyglot (the word sounds really nice and I like the idea), and that can't happen without me learning some new language. I've been looking forward to learn italian for a while. Maybe it is time

I've read something like fifteen books this year, but all of them were "easy", such as less than 400 pages and quite comfortable to understand (which I do not mean in a negative way). I'd like to face the challenge of reading Hugo, Dostoevsky, Milton, Dante, et cetera

In 2020, I wanted to read at least one book and ended up reading fifteen. I'd like to try to make things slightly harder and aim at twenty

I really enjoy writing and lately I've been painting a canvas, but I'm really shy with sharing my art. Let's see if I can overcome this a bit

Spare some money is a way of reading it, but other possibility is to simply get my finances more organized, in a spreadsheet or something

Nowadays I have no clue how much I spend each month, for example

I'm a really sensitive and emotional person, but I'm also very shy when it comes to this. I'd like to be able to share my feelings more openly, as it often hurts me to keep all of my emotions contained inside me

I like writing, but I haven't been writing that much lately. I want to try to write some more

I should take better care of my health

I'm often held too tight by my own thoughts, and I've been wanting to break free from my chains for a while. This is a tough process and I don't think a single year is enough for me to get free, but I'd like to be less bossy around myself

It is intentionally ambiguous

I like making friends, and I'm going to a new university. Lots of people to meet

Over the last couple years, I've had to face my mind's illnesses again and again, with different levels of pain and danger. What I mean with this goal is to get a better understanding of my mind and both accept and resolve it (on a case by case basis)

Intentionally ambiguous

Sort of a free slot. Intentionally ambiguous. Use it wisely ;)

13. Let the happy, wholesome, holiday Níck to play outside

An extra one I thought of a bit late and certainly deserves to be here

This Christmas filled my heart with a holiday spirit (well, I share my name with Santa Claus after all) and made me really want to be one of those happy, wholesome people who love Christmas and try to spread+

joy throughout the world.

I feel like there is already this Níck within me, but he is a bit scared to come out. A part of me already has this feeling of wanting to be wholesome, but it must get a bit braver to reach the outside world and play around
