What Did I Do This Year?

As the end of this year is coming, I want to make a summary of my achievements in 2018. Also, I want to describe changes in my attitude and views during 2018. At first, I was very happy to have fallen in love with learning languages. I would have never imagined that I would understand so well and furthermore, even speak! Because of English, my eyes were opened and I saw beauty in foreigners. I began to practice minimalism as a way to live a meaningful life and to focus on things one at a time. As a side effect, I noticed that I had conversations in my head all the time. I was dreaming about a future that would never come true and constantly judging other people for no reason. Soon after, I realized that I had to cease doing some things and to change my habits. This year taught me a lot about how to manage my time and how to work hard. When I say in a conversation that I wrote a couple sentences ago I feel like I'm trying to get social approval, but that's not true. (I do not understand the meaning of this sentence.)
Currently, I am reading a book by Isaac Asimov called "I, Robot." I find it really wonderful, even though I understand only about 60-70% of the text. When I have time and want to relax, I am definitely going to pick up this book. (Are you saying you are currently reading it and want to "pick it up" more? If so, include "more" before "time" or after "book" and consider the use of "continue" instead of "pick up" to show that you are actively reading it now and not in the future (ex. When I have more time and want to relax, I am definitely going to continue this book.)

Wishing you a happy and successful New Year,

Natasha
