2020 - seems to be something everyone is writing or talking about now isn't it. At the beginning of the year, not going to lie, I thought it was going to be a great year, I mean two numbers together that hadn't happened in 101 years and won't happen again for another 101 years.
The year is cursed though because when something seems to be perfect it's mostly just super messed up. 2020 - even to write it looks cool, doesn't it? 2020 turned out to be a lot of people's worst nightmare - a year where everything went haywire all of a sudden. But it really wasn't all of a sudden now was it? No, not really. Scientists have been predicting for years that something would happen, we were mistreating the planet - taking everything for granted and they were right, we are. Generation Z - that's the latest generation - does it just turn out to be a coincidence that 'z' is the last letter of the alphabet - I don't think so. Everything that is coming our way is our fault. We are bringing this upon ourselves.
2020 is a great year for the planet, though - the quarantine keeps the people off the roads, pollution levels are coming down. Things are getting more balanced. The virus is just the start though. There are rumours even of killer bees coming about. Killer bees? Is it just me or is this beginning to sound a lot like some video game - first a deadly virus, now killer-freaking-bees?
But now, now with everything that is happening, we can finally do two very important things - things that we should've done a long time ago: -
1) Learn from our mistakes - look around - the planet that everyone was treating horribly now you can finally learn to respect it. Start with the little things because now you have to. Things are going to only get progressively worse if we don't do anything about any of this. I don't honestly believe that we will live to see 2121 - not as a race. We'll go extinct so soon if things continue the way that they are continuing over here. Soon we will not have water, not have all our amenities. Soon we will have nothing and not long after that not a lot of us will remain. SO let's do everyone a favour and start already! We are late but we still have hope. LEt's hold on to that hope - make it happen, because we can. Together all billions of us in this world can. We can save the planet, we can save our race - together. But it will only work if everyone is in it together which we need to be. Stop being prejudiced, stop hating on other people because i hate to break it to you but this affects all of us exactly the same. So get your heads out of bubbles and do something finally please! If i have to beg i will, because this is genuinely serious.
2) Learn to be grateful - with quarentine we have more time on our hands. Let's all be grateful now shall we. We have so much - we have our families, we have our friends, we have all these people who love and care about us so much so lets show our gratitude. Not just to people, however, now we know not to take so many things for granted. We can appreciate the fresh air more, nature, everything. Let's all be grateful now!
But now we have to make sure later we will still have things to be grateful for. That's why let's all work together. Together we can get through this virus, together we can get through whatever this crazy year throws at us. Heck if honestly every single person on this planet came together and we became one whole, I'm sure we could tackle any possible thing.
:)
- Until next time,
