I have had a miserable time ever-since the Pandemic hit.
An apocalypse, you say?For the person who said "The future is Brighter"....F### that guy, F### the future. Personally, I am waiting for the apocalypse...I was promised an Apocalypse....
please spare us, it's been bad of enough.Won't be surprised if New Year's Eve ends with a giant message in the sky saying "Conglatulations on beating the tutorial"
An apocalypse, you say?

Seriously though. Relax a little! I do not know what you're going through, but the past half decade has not been so kind to me either. The future will be brighter, even if times seem rough. Luck will strike you when you least expect it. The universe gave us this chance, and I say we not waste it with misery. We spend too much time mulling over past mistakes and awful experiences rather than enjoying the present and making new ones.
I want you to tell yourself everything is good and everything will be good. Out loud. Really. Say it. It helps.
Also, whoever that guy was, apologize! Dat wasnt vewy nice!![]()
My fellow lost spirit, for your sake, I hope you can learn to obtain it. Life fucks, and you should too.I wish I had your optimism.
Not great, so far. Woke up to a death in the family, my great-aunts husband. We only met a handful of times, but he was pretty much the last of that generation we had left. It was expected - with my aunt gone he wasn't going to stick around long - but my brain keeps flooding with questions I wish I'd asked him...or any of them, really. Just feels like the living history of my family shrank dramatically, and we've lost something we can't get back.
"Embrace the people around you while you can," is something I wish more people could learn to take in, myself included.Not great, so far. Woke up to a death in the family, my great-aunts husband.

I'll probably take some meals and some pet food to the people I know from volunteering this weekend, might help this feeling. It's harder now, my government isn't funding the programs that paid for that before (Nazi Germany's "Useless eaters" making a comeback) and I can only afford so much myself.
Help where you can, embrace the people around you while you can, all the usual stuff people say when folks leave us. We all say the same thing, but predictable or not, I take some solace in it.
A solid F Rank from a dumpster fire. Pandemic, Cryto Currencies everywhere, Prices going up, Microsoft buying game studios they don't need, Disney's Flopped remakes, Algorithms/AI taking over the internet.
Only pros so far for me that is, Nintendo Switch library, TMNT Cowabunga Collection, TMNT action. figures reprints, Super Mario Bros. Movie, the Sonic Movie trilogy, and RGT.
Everyone would find that one negative or two from every decade. But, just ignore those negatives and enjoy the good life by making new friends and activities.Look man, I remember people saying the 2010's was the worst decade ever. My dad has a paper he did as a kid which said the 80's was the worst. Is it normal for this to happen so often? Heck no, but I also think it's in our nature to focus on the worst. Especially when a decade starts with such a nasty beginning like 2020 was.
I think we're going to become more community focused this decade. It's already happening. People will find each other, bond with each other, and make memories together. Communication will change and we will see a massive push for optimism and independence. The culture is fed up with the dreariness that smart devices have given us. People are leaning to more into their hobbies.
It is undeniably true how bad things are for certain groups of people right now, I know. If you put yourself out there, come in with an agreeable personality, you'll find people. Maybe things as a whole don't get better, but SOMETHING always does.
This all sounds uncomfortably dogwhistle-y right thereThe 2020's have been the most ridiculous clown world decade in my life so far. What an absolute shitshow between watching the entire world losing its mind because math is hard and big numbers are scary and constantly being forced to play make believe to cater to people's delusions and feelings, because, feelings are now apparently the only thing that's important in the world. I truly cannot wait for the perpetual current year to end and for common sense to return to the world.
