2020: A year which got misinterpreted.

I have seen people saying that 2020 is the worst year.

Is that so?

I used to think the same too, until that point where I realized that it is the other way around.

That  2020 is one of the best years indeed because reality is always harsh and bitter than our imagination. And when reality hits hard in order to ignore the mental trauma of accepting the truth, it's a human instinct to not accept that and remain in our imaginary world by blaming others to be mentally safe. 

That's exactly what seems to be happening here with 2020.

2020 indeed made us all prisoners in our own homes, it even closed all our doors to interact with people and forced us to shut everyone out who was so close to us all of sudden. We were left with little choices to make and more precautions to take, for us and for the collective good of humankind as well.

This was the first time that we were given the chance to sit at home in the comfort of our couches, doing nothing, and still save the world. And we did it too.

But the aftereffect of this was devastating, suddenly taken away from our social life and friend circles impacted so many people and even made them victims of depression.

And that's exactly when we started pointing fingers towards 2020 for being a lame year.

You know why most people become depressed? 

At some point or the other, the truth is that 2020 really showed us who is real and who will remain real forever...

Who actually cared for us and who were pretending it all...

What was actually meant for us and what never was...

It showed us the bitter truth of life that everyone starts forgetting you once we stop meeting them in person. And for most of us, this lesson was a huge one to be accustomed to in such a short span of 8 months and it did break us, every single one of us.

But let's keep our grudges aside and try to bring out the positive in it. It's almost the end of December and we are almost done with 2020. Looking back to this extraordinary year, which we will all remember till the end of our lives, 

I am a little bit more optimistic towards life at this point, 

I am proud that I made it through this hard time even though broken, I am never shattered,

I know whom to trust and whom not to anymore,

I know who loves me for real and who never did,

I know time and distance play a major role in every relationship and I learned to value my parents more for all the things they have done for me and loving me unconditionally regardless of me being anywhere in the world.

Maybe 2020 was harsh, but it surely taught us some serious life lessons indeed.
