Regret is the worst feeling you can experience. It prevents you from doing anything and makes you feel stuck. The stronger the feeling, the less you improve, and the more smiling feels wrong.

In 2019, I proved to myself that I could be consistent in working toward my goals. I wanted to post daily and my blog and I did. Sure, I spent days without writing during certain periods, but I kept striving and made sure my life would be heading the right way.

Unfortunately, I’ve got one huge regret for 2019. How I handled my relationship with my ex.

Your Goals are not just Yours

As the year progressed, I spent more and more time diving into how to progress in writing, how I could develop my voice and an audience. The progress seemed insignificant but I could feel myself in the right direction. It felt good. It made me happy. It made me proud of myself.

It also made my girlfriend proud of me. That, in turn, helped me push myself further, thus creating a virtuous circle. This combination seemed like a perfect fit.
