Bring on 2021!

Well, the weirdest year in a century is almost over, 2020 we are nearly done with you!

A terrible year for many (over 1.8 million were taken by coronavirus and didn’t even live to see the end of it), I’m one of the lucky ones. For me, it started off bad as usual, quickly degenerated from bad to worse, and then in August I found a way to start climbing out of the pit I was in and I’ve been climbing ever since.

I’m still climbing now.

To celebrate the coming of 2021 I shall be not being a selfish asshole who goes out and exposes myself and others to a deadly virus, potentially becoming part of an infection chain that will kill God knows how many people including my own parents and perhaps even myself. I would truly love to go out and party – for the first time in many years I actually feel like celebrating – but I will be spending this one at home as usual and watching the fireworks on TV because that is the responsible thing to do.

Happy New Year everyone!

Here’s hoping 2021 sees not a return to normalcy but the beginning of a paradigm shift towards a fairer, kinder, more equitable society where we value our planet and quality of life for animals and humans above wealth, profit, instant gratification and easy living.
