Although 2020 has been nothing short of a long long list of misfortunes, I can’t help but feel like I’ve had lower points in my life. For example, I remember earlier this year crying on the phone to a friend at 2 am, looking at myself in the mirror. Feeling that crushing pressure in my chest and hot tears streaming down my face, made me feel so hopeless. That was even before all this pandemic panic and anxiety! I haven’t felt that horrible for a long time even now—I look back and see how far I’ve come. Looking at myself now and then, if I can pull myself together even throughout these trying circumstances, 2021 can’t be that bad.
