Plans for 2024.

Do you have anything planned for the 2024??? If so, whether it's big or small, please feel free to share your plans here. It might inspire me to do something cool next year rather than just sit here in my anxieties.

My mind is usually racing with so much it's hard to sit down and plan certain things to do. I usually go with the flow, let my mind just take me to A-B, and take the rough with the smooth as it happens. One thing I definitely intend to do is get back to my volunteering, hopefully mid January if possible, but only time will tell if that's actually going to happen. I don't want to let this opportunity escape me so I need to be strong, if possible.
As for the rest of the year I really don't know what I'm going to be doing. Normally I enter the new year thinking oh god here we go again but this time I'm hoping I'll start the new year with a more positive mindset - positive thinking leads to good things, I'm told, so here's hoping this will be the case for me.
Another thing I wouldn't mind improving next year is my anxiety as it will normally be affecting me on a daily basis and that's unpleasant at the best of times. A little less anxiety would be nice...
But that's a tall order, so I won't get my hopes up. I want to try some new meditation, though I'm doing this before the new year. 
First, I need to try and get through Xmas. Tomorrow I've got all the immediate and extended family coming over, yikes it's going to be a long couple of days. Uncle Gene will get drunk as usual, my little cousins will be running around crazily - and loudly! - and the music will be louder than normal.
*sobs*
My parents are so good though, they tell people to be mindful of my autism and not to trigger me which I appreciate on so many levels but most people don't really listen.
Roll on the new year please....
Whoops, oh dear that turned in to another ramble. Sorry!!

  • One thing I would love to do is go to Rome in Italy. I want to travel the whole world TBH, live life, see all the sights, and get a taste of what it's like basking in another culture. It's also nice to see a lot of history, I would think.

    My biggest grievance with this idea is flying, I hate the idea of flying, so anxious just thinking about it. I'm willing to give most things a try, just once but flying is something I will never do. It goes beyond anxiety and rests at petrified. Lol.

    I just Googled travelling to Rome and it turns out you can go by train, in less than 2 days! I think that's incredible TBH. Even with additional stops and different trains I would definitely be willing to do this.

    I love trains. Lol.

    I don't work right now so wouldn't have the money to do this but if I can get a job and have enough funds before the end of 2024 then I'll definitely do this. If not, then I'll aim to do it in the future some time.

  • Travelling by train is a much more civilised way to travel compared to air travel, especially on the Eurostar from London St Pancras - once you get to Paris, the high speed rail connections to Italy from France on SNCF French railways are really good - and even though Milan and Venice are very expensive, travelling by train in Italy is a joy, the trains are so stylish, especially in First Class - I personally love anything Italian and being Irish, I love Italian culture, customs and traditions - being Catholic, visiting the Vatican City State and especially St Peter’s is something really special as over the years, many Priests I’ve known have studied for the Priesthood in the Irish College in Rome and they have all loved the experience 

  • In 2009, I booked a return TGV journey from CDG Airport to Anguoleme, and back, from a UK-based European Rail site. On the return journey, the Conductor slagged me off, in French, and made me pay for a single journey, by card.
