I've been thinking a lot lately about whether 2021 was better or worse than 2020.
On the surface, I'd say 2020 was demonstrably worse. But, I've had so many ups and downs this year, I can't really tell. On one hand, 2020 was sustainably bad – like, every single day. on the other hand, 2021 brought about a lot of great, wonderful things. It's just that they've been marred by a number of heartbreaks, setbacks, disasters, and emergencies in-between the peaks.
So, is it better to expect the negativity to continue and learn to live within it? Or is it better to enjoy moments of life only to be reminded time and again that things aren't all that better?
Honestly, I don't even know anymore. I keep saying I'm taking it day by day. But, how long is such a thing even sustainable – especially when I'm supposed to be planning for my future and whatnot.
