2020
4 years ago
Another year, come and gone. Sadly, not much has happened here except delay after delay.
It's still really hard to explain, and even harder to figure out, but it's not fair to blame the year.
That being said, I've also become very fed up with the "screw you, 2020, you were the worst year ever" argument, because it's the same as the year before it, and the year before that, etc. Despite the bad, there is always still good, and despite personal issues, you make the best you can out of the time given. 2020 was not the worst year ever- hell, it wasn't even absolutely terrible, contrary to what people may feel or think. Of course I'm not ignoring the stupid, violent, and scummy stuff that's happened this year. However, if you look at ONLY those events or aspects, then of course it's going to seem like the world is on fire.
The world is NOT on fire. Just parts of it.
California joke aside, there have been some entertaining and enjoyable aspects of this year that I appreciate. New friends made, new experiences had, new things discovered, and a reawakening and appreciation of things long loved. So, no, 2020 has not been all that terrible, even when faced with the insane riots and scummy political scheming. You have not driven hope and love out of me completely, and at this rate, you never will.
People need to move on from 2016. Don't refer to the next year as "current year", but rather...think of it as a new opportunity to move forward, because that's what people need to do. Don't get hung up on one single person for years, and don't harbor such insane hatred towards someone like that when there are other ways to spend your energy. Work on making a better life for everyone- not JUST "your side". Promote happiness and love more than the opposites. Maybe then, you'll start to see positive change.
Do not give up, even if it takes you a while to get there. We, as a whole, are not dead yet. The end is a loooooooong way off, despite what doomsayers may utter. Be safe, look forward, and have a happy new year, everyone.
