Out With The Old (2022...) and In With The New (2023...)
As we all begin thinking about cheering, or building our vision board (which I’ll be doing while eating an edible and having a few glasses of wine!) as the clock strikes 12 tonight, I pray your entrance into 2023 is the BEST thing for you…and what better way to end 2022 than to write about the lessons I learned and the goals I plan to cross off in 2023.
If we could sum up 2022 it would be SURVIVING. I entered 2022 on my hands and knees begging to cry less and love more and while 2022 definitely made me cry more but I was filled with happiness and love this year. I fell in love this year, with myself, with new people, with being an aunt and present sister, I allowed myself the space to grieve change but also not get caught up in it and lose sight on how good things could get if I just allowed myself the space to be open to it. 2023 is going to be a good year, I can feel it BUT here are a few goals I will work tirelessly to complete.
Max out my savings account - I want to really take control off my finances in 2023. I let myself get a bit too spendy and not save enough for a rainy day because I kept telling myself, “money is coming in as fast as its going out…” jokes on me, it wasn’t and I ended 2022 questioning what the fuck I was thinking when it came to things I purchased etc.
Reach 35k on TikTok - this one is self explanatory. I want to really lean into creating fun and engaging content in 2023 and beef up my following and engagement that will hopefully widen my TikTok stream of income.
Reach 5k on instagram - this is by far my hardest platform to really grow on because while I can show up on TikTok in whatever version of myself I feel like it, I find that instagram low-key prefers it a little more put together and I want to go back to when instagram was fun and less put together.
GET CONSISTENT! I am a sucker for inconsistency and then question myself when things aren’t moving in the trajectory I would like them…I even launched this sub stack thinking I’d be weekly with it…LMAO Naur. But for next year I wanna get so serious about it and actually reach 2k subscribers - free and paid.
Love more, cry less - I don’t really need to explore this thought too much more right?!
Hard launch all 2023 - whether its a relationship or a baby LOL, I wanna hard lunch myself alllll 2023 with zero fucks given. I no longer take myself too seriously on these apps, I wanna just be myself.
Finally, allow myself to open up deep enough that people see me. Allow myself to be truly seen and loved for who I am in all aspects of my life.
What are your goals of 2023?!
