It’s nearing the end of the year and I’ve been seeing a lot of roundups of best album and tweets you may have missed, and it just feels like we’ve all made the collective decision to not make content about 2020 highlights, which I really appreciate. 2020 has been an exceedingly difficult year for the entire world, and the last thing people need is a celebration of fleeting moments that can never outweigh the depth of darkness of the year in its entirety.
I don’t need to go into detail about how awful this year has been on everyone emotionally, physically, mentally, but do know one thing. If you’re reading this, you almost made it through 2020. It is not a small feat. Everyone should be proud of themselves.
Though I hate recaps, this one is a bit more personal to me, because there were so many events that have forever changed the way I navigate and perceive this world. I learned a lot about myself and society’s capacity for change, which will only help inform my future, but it hasn’t been easy.
