UNPOPULAR OPINION: DON’T CANCEL 2020!
Remember when we used to hug our family and friends, go for vacations, move around freely……me neither! Yes, 2020 has been unkind to us all (thanks to China). Never did we ever imagine being in this situation except when in school we all secretly prayed that something happens and our school gets closed. We were not hoping for this kind of vacation.
The year 2020 is now used as a negative term. Many also regard this as the worst year ever……Well deserved, I would say, it comes with a long list of bad and disturbing incidents.
But when you make something good out of a bad situation is when you excel in life. It is easy to blame, nag, and be negative. Building a house from the stones thrown at you makes you apart from the crowd. Most of us are at home with the time we always craved for but despite using the time we are crying about the situation. Anxiety, depression, and panic attacks have become so common because of overthinking. When we use this time and indulge ourselves in our mental and physical development, our mind will be occupied with positive thoughts.
This generation has become too comfortable being lazy and why not the whole environment around us promotes an unhealthy lifestyle. You don’t have to start preparing for a marathon or do ten internships to be positive or to be productive. Start slow!
I made some major life changes because of 2020. It understood and grew. I am thankful for this time and value it. 2020 has become worst for many of us because we need to blame someone or something. Despite cursing the situation take control of it. Use this time for something that you always wanted to do. Fear creeps into us and damages our mental well being and harmony. Everything happens for a reason, look at the positive aspects of it and try to remember this year on a positive note.
Many of us have lost jobs, have had bad experiences but this is not under our control. Our life is under our control. What we make out of this situation is under our control. What we remember 2020 as is in our control and what we want to learn from this situation is under our control. What stories do you want to tell your grand children the negative one or the one where you faced this pandemic without fear.
Take 2020 as an opportunity and come out of this situation with the best version of yourself. Don’t cancel 2020, cancel COVID, hate, and negativity.
