Reflection of 2021 and New year’s resolutions

To recall my 2021, it teemed with regrets and looked so bland.

What I regretted most was my personal problems. I frequently perplexed with a problem that how to build up intimacy with a man.

I still remembered a special experience in my life, though it has been 14 years since it happened. When I was a high school student, a handsome boy in our class expressed his favorable impression to me through certain implicit means. For instance, he implored our class teacher to let me be his desk mate. And then, our class teacher asked him the reason and got the reply that he hoped to improve his academic performance with my aid. Actually, I didn’t know until a long time later that it was just an excuse he made up.After I perceived his true purpose, it flustered me and I didn’t know how to reckon with the relationship with him. Eventually, because of my immaturation, I stay away from him in all possible occasions where I could met him. The end was self-evident. Our relationship ended up with sorrow.

In the last year, the history repeated itself. For pushing me to find a boyfriend, my mother introduced a couple of men to me and forced me to communicate with them by WeChat. However, it still hard for me to pick up the way to get along with them. The patience of adults is always limited. When these men don’t get your positive feedback, they soon choose to give up dating you.

The experiences of repeated unsuccessful blind dates were aware me of the necessity for me to change myself. So, this year, one of my resolution is to try to establish an intimate relationship with a man.

Having thought of my personal emotional plan, then is my resolutions of work and study.

Until 2021, I has engaged in journalism for 5 years. Without no exaggerations, I have witnessed the glory and decline of the TMT field. When I was an intern, It was the prime time of TMT industry. However, good time don’t last long, since last year, the state has begun to suppress the TMT industry. In order to avoid the impact of policies, TMT enterprises have become secretive in their external voice. For journalists, it meant to the lack of topics and it resulted in the turnover tide in TMT media.

Due to the decline in TMT industry, I determined to leave for a new road. Though I still have a lot of regrets and reluctances. After the spring festival, I will embark on seeking a new work.Simultaneously, it is necessary for me to speed up my pace of preparation for further education.
