Listen, I’m part of the generation that uses humor to cope, I love all the memes about 2020 just as much as you guys do. I laugh at the “we got the real roaring 20′s”, “we wanted 2020 to be a movie but we got the wrong genre”, “we really thought 2020 would be our year” sardonic tweets.
But to the people like me, who really thought 2020 would be their year?
Love, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry you walked into this year with a smile and hope, and that smile immediately fell, and that hope was immediately crushed
I’m sorry that every day there’s something else, I’m sorry that you’re scared, I’m sorry that you’re angry, I’m sorry that you’re tired.
And I know, I know that you’re having a hard time hoping again. Trust me, I know.
But this year, Adam Castillejo became the second person to be cured of HIV
This year, James Patterson art up a fund to help Indie bookstores
This year, scientists finally managed to record the narwhal
This year, White Storks have hatched the first wild chicks in 600 years
This year, the worlds largest open-air gallery was opened with paintings by individuals with learning disabilities
This year, an eleven year old skateboarder landed the worlds first 1080 degree turn
This year, scientists mapped the entire surface of the moon for the first time ever
This year, Sweden and Austria closed their last coal plants
This year, White Tailed Eagles are spotted flying over England for the first time in 240 years
This year, NASA launched astronauts to a US space station for the first time since 2011
To all the people like me, who thought 2020 was their year: We’re here. We’re alive. The world will grow. The world will heal. Maybe 2020 isn’t our year of stress free fun and memories, but it can be our year to learn and stand up and fight, so that next year? We get everything we hoped for.
Don’t give up, don’t leave. There’s a world waiting for you.
